Impacted Wisdom Teeth
About the disease & condition
Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars that fail to fully erupt through the gums due to lack of space or abnormal positioning in the jaw. When wisdom teeth are partially or completely trapped beneath the gums, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to the surrounding teeth. Early assessment helps prevent complications and ensures timely management.
Known symptoms
- Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth.
- Redness or tenderness of the gums.
- Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing.
- Signs of infection such as bad breath or pus discharge.
Known causes
- Insufficient space in the jaw.
- Abnormal growth angle of the wisdom tooth.
- Genetic factors.
Care
- Clinical dental examination.
- Dental X-rays to assess tooth position and surrounding structures.
- Monitoring if asymptomatic.
- Surgical extraction if pain, infection, or risk of complications is present.
- Regular dental check-ups to detect problems early.
