<s>[INST] My wisdom teeth took forever to come in, and I was having a lot of problems with cheek biting during that. Now theyre completely grown in, and I dont think theyre at any odd angle or anything, but Im still biting my cheek because of the rope-scar on the inside of my cheek sticking out and getting in the way. I have to puff my cheeks out anytime I want to close my mouth to make sure it doesnt get caught. It even causes issues when I sleep because I lie on my side, and the pillow basically just pushes my cheek into them. Is there anything I can do about this, aside from having my wisdom teeth removed altogether? [/INST] Hello Sir, Thanks for posting the query, As I can understand from you question that the wisdom tooth has grown up and causing problem of cheek biting. There may be two reasons for this:- 1 The tooth is placed more on the buccal aspect means the tooth has erupted on the cheek side of the Jaw. It is not possible to see by the patient the exact position of the tooth. 2 The cusp of upper teeth is sharp which is engaging the mucosa of cheek between the teeth. So the remedy is -first you visit your dentist and get an IOWA means X-ray of the tooth done, if it is out of the arch then get it removed and if it is well in the arch forum then get the rounding of the sharp edges of both upper and lower third molar done. I am sure you will be relieved from pain. Do apply Ointment on the cheek bite to prevent soreness like Hegel. </s>
