Hello doctor,
I have recently got a white spot with a little black hole in it that hurts, especially when eating. Please look at the picture.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It seems to be lichen planus. Please mention the type of pain. Is it burning or not?

Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I do not have burning, but I have only a small pain when moving the jaw and biting. It started about two days ago, and I had a sore throat right before this problem. I did a lot of drinking and smoking lately.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Then it seems to be cheek bite. Your upper teeth might touch your cheek during grinding. Please confirm whether this lesion was there earlier or recently developed.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
It has just recently developed.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Then it seems to be cheek bite only. Do one thing do warm saline rinses, and if possible, visit the dentist and have selective grinding done of first and thirrd molars of both upper and lower jaw. After that, apply Orasole or Oraheal thrice daily for five days. Then show me after a week if there is any improvement or not.
