Discomforted and pain
Hello doctors!!
Please see picture, i often get pain, and cheek bite scars, trauma marks on these areas! I hv an impacted lower wisdom tooth! Sharing picture of that too.
What can be the treatment? And why iam I getting cheek redness on cheeks due to impacted tooth? Its not even visible in oral cavity! As a matter of fact i knw that my impacted molar is hitting the adjacent tooth but there is no pain there.. i hv pain on gums where there is impaction and adjacent cheeks are getting redness/ irritation.

Your findings are consistent with any other person's picture of oral mucosa. Everything is normal with the mucosa. Delibrate chewing of cheeks will lead to redness though. Divert yourself from your oral concerns as it is very much within normal limits.

Hi.. Because of an impacted wisdom tooth cheek bite may occur whether it is in or out. Impacted tooth surrounding gum will be swollen when there is food getting stuck in that region and sometimes it might get infected and form pus.
Next Steps
Get your wisdom tooth removed you will be free of all problems you mentioned.

Hi,
The redness that you are seeing is due to the irritation from the impacted wisdom tooth. I would suggest you to remove your wisdom tooth. Do warm water gargle for temporary relief.
