  5. Hi Doctor, Ive been having a small hole inside my mouth opposite my lower left molar, and its been causing constant pain. It only gets some relief after gargling for a few minutes. Im worried if this could be a sign of cancer or if its related to a wisdom tooth problem. There's no bleeding or anything else, just pain. I can also feel some swelling in my left jaw, which might be from the pain. Should I be concerned?

It sounds more likely to be related to a wisdom tooth issue or a dental infection, especially if there's swelling and pain in the jaw. Cancer typically involves more noticeable changes like persistent sores, bleeding, or lumps. It's best to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
