Impacted wisdom tooth
An impacted wisdom tooth is a tooth that doesn’t have enough room to come in properly and becomes stuck, often causing pain and discomfort. This can occur when insufficient space in the jaw to accommodate the tooth or when it is positioned at an angle that prevents it from erupting properly.
Treatment options for impacted wisdom teeth may include removing the tooth or performing a surgical procedure to reposition it. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, gum disease, and other oral health problems, so it is important to seek prompt treatment if you suspect you have an impacted wisdom tooth.
