If you want to get your wisdom tooth nobody will cut your cheek,
If the tooth is within the bone , slightly gum will be given an incision , mild bone cutting might be done and tooth will be removed , after that your gum will be sutured back ... Nd it will be done under local anaesthesia nd you will not even feel the procedure ... Nothing wil be done to your cheek or face
