Impacted Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Often, they lack adequate space to emerge properly from the gum line and jaw, leading to misalignment or incomplete eruption. This can result in them becoming trapped or impacted between the jawbone and gum tissue, causing swelling, pain, and infection. Moreover, impacted wisdom teeth may cause permanent damage to nearby teeth, gums, and bone, and in severe cases, trigger the formation of cysts or tumors damaging the jaw. Hence, dental professionals typically recommend surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth.
Additionally, it's not just wisdom teeth that can become impacted; other teeth such as cuspids and bicuspids can also face similar issues, necessitating extraction.
