Impacted wisdom teeth are unable to emerge or grow properly due to insufficient space. They are stuck below the gumline and can become trapped in the jawbone or the gums, leading to pain and infection. Our dentists recommend that impacted wisdom teeth be extracted to protect your dental health and well-being.
Common Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, you may experience the following:
- Pain
- Facial swelling in some cases
- Persistent headaches
- Swollen gums
An impacted wisdom tooth may also damage neighbouring teeth, depending on its angle. It can also result in an infection.
All of these reasons make it important to extract an impacted wisdom tooth, and our team can help. At Alta Dental Studio, our dentists perform the surgical extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth.
