I’m trying not to overthink this, but yesterday morning I felt pain inside my cheek/jaw area and noticed what looks like a small cut or hole near the back of my mouth. Of course I Googled it, and now I’m wondering if it’s from my wisdom tooth, irritation, or something I should actually have checked.

It’s not unbearable, but it’s sore enough that I keep noticing it and checking it with my phone light. I called around and an exam could be around $250-$500 depending on X-rays, so I’m trying to decide if this is worth booking or if I’m panicking over a normal mouth sore.

Has anyone had something like this near the wisdom tooth/cheek area, and did it heal on its own or did you need a dentist?

I’m trying not to overthink this, but I noticed this weird raised-looking area near my back tooth and I can’t tell if it’s tooth overgrowth, a filling, or just the way the molar is shaped.

It doesn’t hurt much, but it feels odd enough that I keep checking it. I called about getting it looked at and was told an exam/X-rays could be around $300-$600, so I’m hoping it’s nothing major.

Has anyone had something that looked like this and found out it was just a filling or normal tooth shape?
