Wisdom tooth cutting cheek

2018-09-04 14:27:25
My upper left wisdom tooth is slightly protruding outside for over a year, but since last few days it seems to cut my cheek and now everytime I close my mouth or chew some food, it pains in the cheek. There is no pain in gum or the tooth. Is there an effective alternate method to deal with this other than extraction?

Hello sir, The permanent solution for wisdom teeth is extraction... Whatever the alternate treatment but it won't give you a permanent relief... Don't have to worry, it's not that painful procedure...

Long term solution is extraction. Get an X-ray done. Your dentist may round off the tooth slightly so it does not hurt your cheek
