Tooth cuts
I can't explain technically but the new tooth on upper left side has arrived recently and now it is piercing inner gums and cheek. Can't open mouth fully. I think food is getting stuck there that's why it's paining.

Mostly the pain is due to an erupting wisdom tooth in the wrong direction of cheek. Kindly get an x-ray done of the affected tooth and get it checked clinically before extraction. Regards
