One of mine has just partially started erupting but has already managed to hurt the sides of my cheeks whenever I smile or laugh.

Hello..
you have to get your wisdom tooth extracted as soon as it starts giving you any discomfort/ pain. The earlier you get it surgically removed, it’s better..
Next Steps

Wisdom tooth should be removed as soon as it starts causing pain and trauma.The cost of extraction depends on the positioning of the tooth within the bone.This is assessed by full mouth x ray (OPG).

Get it removed the earliest. U will feel discomfort for few days. But it will resolve. Cost depends on the tooth position as well as the place you undergo the extraction
