This is not related to any habits, but Your wisdom tooth is horizontally impacted in the bone it is not erupting straight it has to be removed, bcz it can damage adjacent tooth and in future it can also cause pain that white layer is keratosis .
Don’t worry visit dentist ,get the X-ray done and go for extraction of the wisdom tooth followed by medication .
U can consult me for treatment and medication.
