A member asked:
How normal would it be for my top wisdom tooth to be rubbing aganist my cheeck?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The reason for this rubbing is that you do not have enough space for the wisdom tooth to be in a normal, functioning position. Extraction is indicated. Talk to your dentist or an oral. Surgeon about this.

Normal: Yes it can be normal for you. The tooth could have erupted closer to the cheek because that was the easiest place for the tooth to erupt. With a tooth in this position, it is usually a little harder for you to brush the tooth. I would recommend you seeing your dentist to determine if you should have the tooth extracted.
