Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have white spot near cheek where wisdom tooth removal dont worry it is not Oral Cancer , it can be white lesion ,or due to infection near socket due to not maintaince of oral hygiene ,go to dentist and go for Oral examination,
If necessary go for investigations like Cytology or if needed go for Biopsy.
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash 2 times a day
Hope it will help you.
