Thanks fro using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Pain and broken tooth suggests the presence of acute abscess in relation to the wisdom tooth .The spots in the cheek which you have mentions suggests cheek bite and it should not be worrisome.

I would suggests you take Ibuprofen tab for pain (if you are not allergic to any medicine).Do warm saline gargling and avoid applying hot bag externally.
Keep the area clean to avoid further infection.

Visit your oral and maxillo-facial surgeon and have a radiograph and get the wisdom tooth removed.You may need a course of antibiotic like Amoxicillin thrice daily on prescription by the dentist.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have decayed wisdom tooth this pain and spot are related to decayed tooth this spot can be due to Frictional keratosis , Linea alba , Leukoedema , Leukoplakia .
I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for IOPA x ray of tooth and go for Removal of tooth , in mean time you can do warm saline rinses , you can take analgesic like Diclomol , or Paracetamol and consult your dentist and go for its treatment.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
