Wisdom tooth extraction
I am experiencing slight discomfort/pain while chewing on my upper right side molars ( teeth 6 or 7 ,couldn't clearly distinguish )
Doing OPG I found that my wisdom tooth is impacted (touching 2nd molar). Does wisdom tooth extraction helps in this or should I check my first and second molars for cavities ?
Also I also have class 3 malocclusion since birth.
What should be the best step in this case.
Plz help

The pain in your 6 or 7 can be due to cavities. You should look for any tooth discoloration, type of pain, aggravating and relieving factors, foul smell, pus discharge, etc. If cavities are ruled out, then it might be due to 8 hitting 7 or pericoronitis irt 8.
