Impacted Tooth Extraction

An impacted tooth is a tooth that cannot properly erupt into the mouth despite reaching its expected eruption period. The most common impacted teeth are the third molars, also known as wisdom teeth.

If there is not enough space for the third molars to erupt and the tooth has still not emerged by approximately the age of 25, it is generally considered impacted. In some cases, the tooth may partially erupt but fail to fully position itself in the mouth.

If your wisdom teeth have not yet erupted, you may consult your dentist for an evaluation and professional guidance. Early assessment can help prevent possible complications such as pain, swelling, infection, tooth decay, or gum-related problems.
