Grey lines in both side inner cheeks
I have this grey thick lines with little white lines in my both inner cheeks and also two tiny holes in each inner cheeks.. Holes cannot be seen, but i can feel the hole when I touch by my tongue.. It's been around one year... I have the habit of cheek bite and have sharp teeth with irregular forms. I had wisdom tooth cavity and i removed the right wisdom tooth two years back.. I think after that only I'm getting this problem..I'm very much scared.. I don't have any habits of tobacco or alcohol..

Hi mam as per your words this may be due to cheek bite. Please get your sharp teeth rounded off. It may solve your problem. If not have a follow up visit with your dentist. Need not worry

First of all your pictures are not clear.
Secondly get areas with white lines is a vague description. It could be lichen planus, linea Alba etc more chances of having prominent linea Alba as you mentioned off sharp cusps. These things could be related to psychological stress.
If there are holes on both side of your lips these could be salivary pots and they are absolutely harmless.
So for proper diagnosis please visit a dentist.
Get your sharp cusps rounded off and get an occlusal guard made.
There nothing that seems worrisome by the description you have given here. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common and routine dental procedure that does not pose and ill after effects. Moreover, it’s been two years. It is NOT related to wisdom tooth’s extraction.
Next Steps
Plz visit a dentist
