Impacted Teeth treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Impacted teeth are those that fail to fully emerge through the gum and remain retained within the bone or covered by tissue, often the wisdom teeth or the canines.

Why does it happen? It is usually due to a lack of space in the dental arch, the tilted position of the tooth, or obstacles that prevent its normal eruption.

Common symptoms: Pain or pressure in the area, gum inflammation, discomfort when chewing, or, at times, no obvious symptoms until it is detected during a check-up.

Who evaluates it? The dentist identifies the situation of the retained tooth, and the orthodontist assesses how it affects dental alignment and spacing. If you notice persistent discomfort in an area where a tooth did not finish coming in, it is advisable to have it reviewed in time.
