Impacted Tooth
Tooth impaction occurs when a tooth fails to fully emerge through the gum and remains totally or partially retained within the bone, as often happens with the wisdom teeth.
Which specialist treats it? The dentist identifies the situation, and the maxillofacial surgeon evaluates the cases that require specialized care, sometimes supported by the orthodontist.
Common symptoms: It may run its course without discomfort or present with pain, inflammation of the nearby gum, pressure on the neighboring teeth, or difficulty opening the mouth.
When to seek care? With pain in the back of the mouth or if a dental X-ray shows a retained tooth, the prudent step is to discuss it with a professional. A timely review helps to plan the most suitable management for your case.
