That’s one of the very common presentations of wisdom teeth. The reason for it impinging the cheek could be 1) its position 2) cavity or a sharp point on the tooth.
Next Steps
Please visit your nearby dentist and get it clinically checked. An X-ray will also be required to check for any source of infection developing inside.
Health Tips
Long term irritation of the cheek may cause it to develop ulcers and inflammation. Use salt water gargles and pain relievers for short term relief. It is often recommended to get the wisdom tooth removed as a permanent solution as the symptoms keep recurring.

Well the probable reasons for wisdom teeth causing pain are to many. I will let you know some of them.
1.There is possibility of the fractured crown which may be impinging to the gingiva(in hindi-masuda)
2. There is possibility of eruption of the wisdom teeth which is applying pressure on gingiva which is causing pain.
3. There is possibility of dental caries of teeth causing abscess(pus) which can lead to pain
4. There is possibility of wrongly erupted ( i mean alignment or inclination of wisdom tooth) which can some time cause pain
5. There is possibility of stucking of food between wisdom teeth and teeth next to it.
So if you really want to go for a treatment then I suggest you to come to our clinic or visit any clinic nearby where you can take xray of that area so that the picture will be clear. And we will be able to treat them better.
Next Steps
