Question:

Sore lump and hole in my mouth (cheek) next to my incoming wisdom tooth?

About five days ago I felt as if I was getting a sore throat, and then the next day I had a hole in my cheek next to where my wisdom tooth is coming in. They're coming in very crooked and towards my other teeth. I still feel like I have a sore throat and now I can barely eat anything because the hole in my cheek hurts so bad. There is also a bump right next to it, probably from biting it several times this past week (due to it being swollen). What is causing this hole? Could it be an infection? Just a little worried, as I don't have insurance or money to see a dentist.

Thanks in advance!

  2. I don't know if this will help you or not, but when my wisdom tooth began to come in I also had a little hole like the one you described, and although I could not afford to go to the dentist, I did because I was freaking out and they told me that it was an 'abcess ulcer' which is really gross-sounding, I know, but I think it forms when some of your tooth is still beneath the gumline.  I'm not certain.  Anyway, I was instructed to get some Listerene (green kind) and dip a q-tip into it a couple of times every day, and then swab the sore with the q-tip.  I don't know if this will be of any help, but it's worth a shot:)  Also, the sore went away less than a week after I began my treatment of it.
