An impacted tooth is one that fails to emerge properly through the gums — it gets stuck or grows at an incorrect angle due to lack of space. This is most commonly seen with wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, but can occasionally affect other teeth as well.
Why Does Tooth Impaction Happen? The most common reason is insufficient space in the jaw. When the mouth is too crowded, the incoming tooth has nowhere to grow properly. It may remain fully trapped beneath the gum or partially break through, causing pain, swelling, and infection around the area.
Symptoms to Watch For Impacted teeth often cause persistent jaw pain, swelling of the gums, difficulty opening the mouth, bad breath, and headaches. In some cases, an impacted tooth causes no immediate symptoms but silently damages nearby teeth and bone over time.
Why Treatment Is Important Leaving an impacted tooth untreated can lead to serious complications including cysts, gum disease, damage to adjacent teeth, and recurring infections. Early diagnosis and timely treatment prevents these problems effectively.
