Do you have cheek bite? Seems like due to improper angulation of wisdom teeth you’re having cheek bite. Cheek bite may cause white patches.. even if there is no cheek bite, your upper wisdom tooth is scratching the inside of the cheeks(buccal mucosa).
Next Steps
Visit a nearby dentist and get it checked. If it is what I said then get wisdom tooth extracted.
