Hi i recently developed a canker soar in my left cheek back where my wisdom tooth is growing in. thought it was fine until i used my tongue to feel around it one morning and it had a boxy lump around it and it comes out all the way to my gums and it hurts to touch it open my mouth or spit and eat. What could it be and how should i treat it? The soar is white and it caves in a little.
Hello, Thanks for writing in. I read your query, i would like to tell you that this soreness is because of wisdom tooth infection. One more thing I will tell you that wisdom teeth play very little role in food chewing, so I am better to get them removed if they create any problem like infection again and again because such infection will destroy underlying jaw bone. So I will suggest you visit an oral surgeon as soon as possible and after proper medication get them removed. Nothing to get worried. Take Care
