Hole at back of inner cheek!

[Julia86]

First thought I bit my cheek, then thought I had a canker sore but I am not sure.. I have a lot of pain at the back of my mouth near my jaw and a small hole has appeared. It’s hard to chew and has been painful for a week now. Is this a canker sore or something to do with my wisdom teeth/molars? Help!

Hi Julia,

Don't believe that it has anything to do with your teeth. Appears to be a canker sore but you can never be too sure though so best thing to do is check with your dentist.

Hey! Did you find out what it was and how to treat it? I have the exact same thing...

I went to see a dentist and he told me it's just a big ulcer and that it will go away in 2 to 3 weeks. Mine would hurt a lot when I was eating so he gave me a syrup that basically numbs ur whole mouth so that u wouldn't feel discomfort or pain while eating. you should go get it if u have the same problem. He also said the cause of ulcers is lack of sleep, stress, lack of vitamin so go get some multivitamins gummies in ur grocery store

Hey! I have the exact same hole as yours on my right inner cheek! I was searching on Google what it is called but nothing comes up, do you have any idea what it might be exactly? My jaw also hurts whenever I eat and I can't open my mouth properly

OP was in 2018. If other people have similar issues, please provide photos, and what steps you have taken to have it investigated.

I also have something similar or the same, I first noticed it a couple of days ago, moving my jaw and eating is slightly painful and uncomfortable, mine is behind the last tooth, it's much smaller and doesn't have any colour. ( possibly it gets bigger over time )

EDIT :
Also, this might not be related at all. but the day before I started to notice it I burned my tongue with hot tea and also poked the inside of my cheek with a sharp crisp. but I do not believe it would manage to poke all the way in the corner so I don think the crisp caused the hole.

i also have a similar hole at the exact same position. it hurts when i eat or try to chew hard food. no bleeding at all no blood. there is a very small whitish cover around it too.

Hey just to let you know after about a week, the pain stopped and it's basically healed, I can still feel it with my tongue slightly.

Hi all. But of insight if you have the same. I went to the dentist as I thought it was a wisdom tooth growing by the hole. But turns out my top wisdom tooth kept hitting my lower gum as I was talking and eating and caused it from impact. Currently surviving off Bonjela , ibuprofen and salt water rinses 3 weeks later after my dentist emergency appointment told me there’s nothing she can do

Hello, did you find out what this was? I have the exact same and in the same place in my mouth!

I have the infamous hole as well. My dentist told me I have a buccoangular impaction. Meaning the angle my back wisdom tooth is growing it towards my cheeks, so a whole has formed to make space for the head of the tooth. The hole will not close until tooth is removed.
