Safe and Effective Management of Impacted Teeth
Impaction refers to a dental condition in which a tooth fails to erupt properly into the mouth due to lack of space, incorrect position, or obstruction by surrounding teeth, bone, or gum tissue. The most commonly impacted teeth are wisdom teeth (third molars), but canines and premolars may also become impacted. Impacted teeth may remain partially visible or completely trapped beneath the gums or jawbone.
If left untreated, impacted teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection, tooth decay, gum disease, cyst formation, and damage to nearby teeth. Early diagnosis through clinical examination and X-rays helps determine the position of the impacted tooth and the need for treatment. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve monitoring, medication, or surgical removal.

Common questions about our dental treatments and services
What symptoms indicate an impacted tooth?
Common symptoms include pain, swelling, redness of gums, difficulty opening the mouth, bad breath, and discomfort while chewing. Some impacted teeth may not cause symptoms but still require evaluation.
Is surgery always required for impacted teeth?
Not always. Some impacted teeth can be monitored if they are not causing problems. However, surgery is recommended when the tooth causes pain, infection, damage to nearby teeth, or other complications.
How long does recovery take after impaction treatment?
Most patients recover within a few days to a week. Mild swelling or discomfort is normal and can be managed with medication and proper post-treatment care.
