I am just growing in my wisdom teeth. The lower left tooth is half-way in, and recently, whenever I bite or chew something, that tooth pinches my cheek and hurts it very bad. How can I stop this? Should I have this checked by a dentist? Has any body else had this before? Any advice? Suggestions?

Oh and P.S: my mom had to have TONS of teeth removed because her mouth wasn't big enough, they pulled out lots of teeth, n\including all four wisdom teeth. Would I take after my mother?

See your dentist, you may need to have your wisdom teeth removed. It's a pretty standard procedure.
Oh, after you bite your cheek, that area will swell, causing you to bite it even more. Just be careful when you chew until you get them out.

Its swollen from the wisdom teeth coming, take some ibuprofen, its an anti-inflammatory and will help keep the swelling down.
