Inner cheek pain from tooth
I popped my jaw the other day and since then my jaw on the right side has been sore and now my back tooth is rubbing against my cheek and causing pain. Could it be because of swelling or possible wisdom tooth growing? The tooth itself nor the gum around it is hurting. Just my jaw and my cheek.

It is better to get a check up done...meanwhile , do warm salt water gargles and take an anti-inflammatory tablet that suits you (any painkiller that you've taken safely before) twice a day for two days.
. Also apply hexidine gel to the cheek and gum around the back tooth twice daily.
Don't bite anything hard for a couple of days.
After this if your discomfort continues please visit a dentist soon.

The pain could be coming from the joint (TMJ) . Avoid wide mouth opening and have soft diet for a few days. Take tablet Combiflam three times a day for 2 days. If the pain still persists then consult a dentist
