Recurring Cheek Ulcer Caused by Wisdom Tooth
Patient Concern
A patient visited Six Sigma Dentistry, Gurgaon with:
- A painful ulcer on the inner cheek
- Repeated healing and recurrence despite medication
- Difficulty in eating and speaking
Diagnosis & Clinical Findings
On examination and radiographic evaluation:
- The wisdom tooth (third molar) was erupting buccally (towards the cheek)
- Continuous contact between tooth and cheek caused repeated trauma
- Resulted in a chronic non-healing traumatic ulcer
This is a common but often overlooked dental issue where only symptoms are treated, not the cause.
