Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars, these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle ? even sideways ? causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it & irritation of the cheek. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible. For temporary relief you may need coronoplasty (smoothening of teeth edges). Hexigel ointment can be applied over the ulcerative area on the cheek.

Dear lybrate-user, the irritation will decrease in one or two weeks. To avoid bacteria growth in that area rinse your mouth with warm salt water gargle after evey meal for a week. If signs pain or fever occur please visit a dentist. Wish you best health.

It's normal to feel itching sensation when any tooth erupts. If you rinse with lukewarm water with salt in it, itching will settle.
