White ucler red middle

Would my wisdom tooth cause this or what? Dentist had a look, took an x ray and my wisdom tooth is going sideways.

Does not hurt but incomfortable. Been there for a week now.

A malpositioned wisdom tooth can definitely cause this, although it is difficult to see clearly on your photo. If the wisdom tooth is tilted, it could lead to chronic cheek biting or even just an ulcer due to the wisdom tooth rubbing against the cheek. I would recommend removing the wisdom tooth.

Thanks for the reply. I have never had an ulcer like that before though. Did concern me it was a growth.
