How do you know it's touching your nerve ?? If it's in wisdom tooth area it's mostly because of a inflammation called periodontitis. The tissue will be in continuous trauma due to occlusal forces and food lodgement in the distal pocket area
Next Steps
consult a Periodontist or Oral surgeon get an radiograph OPG
Health Tips
Good oral Hygiene and brush should reach the posterior teeth
