What Causes White Spot Behind The Tooth On The Cheek?
16years old, 5'4, and weigh 98 pounds. I have a white spot behind my tooth on my cheek. My cheek hurts and part of my gums. I have a cavity right next to it, my tooth is chipped so I assumed I may have stabbed my cheek but I can feel the pain all over my cheek. what could this be and how can I make it go away faster without seeing a dentisit?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white spot behind the tooth on the cheek could be a frictional keratosis, or ulcer over the keratotic area secondary to trauma caused by the sharp margins of the tooth. Consult a oral physician and get the tooth treated. The problem will be solved once we remove the cause.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
