Go to dentist: Many people have mouths that are not large enough to accommodate wisdom teeth without problems. As such, they are better off having those teeth extracted to prevent further issues. Your dentist can advise on your need for this treatment, and consult you to an oral surgeon for the procedure.

See your dentist: A wisdom tooth that comes in and causes cheek trauma should be evaluated for removal by your dentist. It may be the only way to resolve the problem.

Wisdom tooth: It is time to see your dentist or an oral surgeon about your wisdom teeth. When you are biting your cheek and causing pain with eating and talking you have a space problem and removal is indicated. This will not get better by itself. Get it taken care of ASAP.

Remove it: You need to have it removed as you probably don't have enough room for it in your mouth.

Wisdom teeth : In many cases wisdom teeth should be extracted due to complications associated with the presence of tooth decay or gums. It is a common procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia by a specially trained dentist or oral surgeon. Often extracting a wisdom tooth is the best solution. See your dentist for x-ray and evaluation.
