I have been having pain in the right hand side of my mouth for sometime now. Somedays it's worse than othera, and today I can feel it in the teeth on that side of my mouth as well. When I looked in the mirror I saw that tiny indents seem to forming on the inside right cheek, and the skin around them is turning white. Any idea what this is?

I think your 3rd molar is partially erupted.there is infection in your 3 Rd molar. These condition is called pericoronitis.in this condition inflammation of soft tissue surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth, including the gingiva and dental follicle
Next Steps
if the pericoronitis is limited to the tooth, treat it by rinsing your mouth with warm saline salt water.you should also make sure that gum flap has no food trapped under it.if your tooth jaw and cheek are swollen and painful,see your dentist right away
