Wisdom tooth pain and cheek bites
I have an erupting wisdom tooth on the right lower jaw which has caused a severe cheek bite. I am not able to chew anything from past 4 days. I believe in self healing and do not wish to go for tooth extraction anytime soon. Can you help me with some natural methods to reduce cheek bites without extraction?
This has occurred for the first time so I am not very sure if this will keep on continuing. If I take proper dental care can I avoid surgery?
