Suggest Treatment For Wisdom Teeth Pain

My wisdom tooth is ripping my cheek leaving a bit of a dimple-like mark in my cheek. The tooth has not fully erupted out of the gum yet but it is extremely sharp and it seems like its only growing from one side and not the other (as if its growing sideways).

The position you describe will constantly lead to trauma and probably may lead to severe infection at a latter date. Transient relief canbe gained by antibiotic and analgesic therapy. But on along run you need to get an xray done and probably consider removal of the wisdom tooth.
