There is nothing to worry about this white portion - this is basically a cheek bite which is due to cheek ( buccal mucosa ) getting in between your upper and lower teeth during chewing .

This might be due to your inner cheek getting stuck between your upper and lower wisdom tooth. You should do warm saline rinses 2-3/day for 3days.Also, consult a doctor for the required treatment of your broken lower tooth.

Hi,
Looks like a cheek bite. Visit a dentist and check for sharp tooth margins. Also you have a broken tooth which needs to be extracted.
