Normally, wisdom teeth biting into the inner cheek flesh will not directly cause cancer, but there is a certain probability of cancerous transformation when there is long-term mechanical friction, resulting in localized ulcers.
Wisdom teeth biting into the inner cheek meatus may lead to breakage of the cheek meatus, which may easily induce bacterial infection, and then mouth ulcers, stomatitis and other diseases, which may be accompanied by itching, tingling and other uncomfortable symptoms, but usually does not directly cause cancer.
It should be noted that the long-term existence of wisdom teeth will affect the patient’s biting function, resulting in frequent friction and biting of cheek flesh. Under the influence of long-term mechanical friction and inflammatory stimulation, there is indeed a certain possibility of cancerous transformation, although this process takes a long time.
If wisdom teeth cause food impaction, cheek biting and tongue biting and other undesirable situations, it is recommended to consult a doctor for examination to meet the indications for timely removal.
