<s>[INST] i am 24, my upper right wisdom tooth (completely erupted from the gum) is continously rubbing my cheek which causes swelling and pain in that particular area but not the teeth itself is in pain. i went to the dr and he recommended its extraction m scared of getting it extracted... should i go for it? [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling and pain could be because of the trauma caused by the wisdom tooth over the cheeks. You can take a course of antibiotics and get the tooth removed. If the wisdom tooth is not a proper position, it has to go for extraction. Nothing to worry it's a simple procedure done under local anesthesia. Do saline gargling.I hope my answer will help you, take care. </s>
