Hello Extraction means tooth removal 18: upper right wisdom tooth 38: lower left wisdom tooth You will most likely be able to appreciate whether pain and discomfort is on left side or right side. But it will be difficult for you to specify whether the tooth is upper or lower ( as that is the basic nature of tooth pain)
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and get it checked properly followes by treatment
Health Tips
Don't rely on medicines, if you have been having cheek bite due to it, don't ignore it.

Extraction with respect to 18 means extraction of your upper right wisdom tooth. Exact opinion would be easier to provide if there is an OPG( X-ray) or a clinical photograph . If the lower tooth is decayed or bothering you with pain or repeated swelling of jaw around that area or gums in that area or if there is a developing cavity in the tooth before that we advice extraction. If you’re symptom less and able to maintain normal oral hygiene you can continue keeping that tooth in the mouth
Next Steps
Preferably get a consultation for better details
