WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
​
A tooth becomes impacted when there is lack of space in the dental arch and its growth and eruption are prevented by overlying gum, bone, or another tooth. A tooth may be partially impacted, which means a portion of it has broken through the gum, or totally impacted and unable to break through the gum at all.
WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
Wisdom teeth are a set of third molars that may or may not fully erupt, potentially causing discomfort and/or jaw pain. They may also crowd or damage adjacent teeth or roots.
​
More serious problems may occur if the sac surrounding the impacted tooth becomes filled with fluid and enlarges to form a cyst. As the cyst grows it may hollow out the jaw and permanently damage adjacent teeth, the surrounding bone, and nerves. Rarely, if a cyst is not treated, a tumor may develop from its walls and a more serious surgical procedure may be required to remove it.
