I have the same issue. The flap from inside your cheek is from biting your cheek. I grid my teeth at night and my cheek gets in the way. The skin over your widsom teeth ia normal too. My dentist has offered to cut it off if it caused any issue. Which sometime it does. It becomes inflamed after food gets trapped. just be mindful of this area when you are flossing.
