What Causes Presence Of Dead Skin Near Wisdom Tooth?

Hi there, I was just curious on how serious a situation this could be. I was brushing my teeth this morning and i felt something with my tongue, its on the skin right above where my wisdom teeth are. The skin right behind your very last molar is. It looks like dead skin but it's still attached and when I rub my tongue on it, it feels kind of corse, not smooth. any ideas what it could be?
