Are you prone to stress or anxiety.? Chronic cheek biting can be a manifestation of anxiety and stress. . If there is deflected partially erupted /impacted molars, mal-alignment and malocclusion , it needs to be treated. Else,, habit management may be necessitated.

Yes, it is possible for an impacted mesioangular third molar (wisdom tooth) to contribute to the habit of cheek biting and the resulting frictional keratosis, inflammation, redness, and pain in the affected area. The presence of an impacted tooth can disrupt the normal alignment and positioning of the adjacent teeth, leading to changes in the bite relationship. This alteration in the bite can cause the inner cheek to get caught or pinched between the upper and lower teeth, resulting in a habitual cheek biting behavior. Furthermore, the discomfort or dull pain associated with the impacted third molar can also trigger subconscious movements or habits, such as constantly taking the cheek inside the teeth or sucking on them, as a way to relieve the discomfort or seek temporary relief. In such cases, it is important to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon who can assess the condition of your impacted tooth, evaluate the extent of the cheek biting habit, and determine the appropriate treatment. Wisdom tooth extraction may be recommended to address the underlying cause of the cheek biting and alleviate the associated symptoms. It is worth noting that individual cases can vary, and a comprehensive dental examination is necessary to provide a definitive diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. Seeking professional dental advice will help determine the best course of action for your specific situation and provide you with the necessary relief from the cheek biting habit and associated symptoms.

Hello No ,impacted third can create pain but not cheek biting

Hi As discussed last night. As your gums are getting irritated due to wisdom tooth eruption. Your trying to suppress that irritation by sucking your cheek and injuring your cheeks. It's not  directly a cause  but inderctly due to intentional habits of sucking and biting  your cheeks.

Probably upper third molar is creating the problem and cheek bite
