Hi.. We have to first rule out the reason for pain whether the pain is due to a sharp tooth/ cheek bite/ wisdom tooth. By examining your mouth and by taking an x-ray we can come to a conclusion and based on that treatment plan can be done.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist nearby and get it checked and if possible upload an X-ray. If the problem is because of wisdom tooth then that tooth needs to be removed.
Health Tips
Till then warm salt water rinses helps.
