I recently had tooth 13 extracted and i found a white circle and line in my cheek adjacent to the extraction. it is throbbing and painful.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cheek Biting Trauma: Self-inflicted lip trauma is a potential complication of dental extraction involving local anesthesia. Rinse the area with saltwater and get Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin OTC for pain. Very common and benign condition.
