What happens when you got an impacted wisdom tooth - Part I

So when going to the dentist for a wisdom tooth removal, and he/she tells you that this tooth is impacted, but what does this means and how it would affect your dental health?

Here we explain it to you easy if you didn’t catch well the idea at the dentist office…

What is an impacted wisdom tooth?

Wisdom tooth are the third molars, they are usually the most annoying of all teeth and get the most incredible forms and positions.

Here is where the problem comes, when all of our teeth have come up, there is no enough room for some “extra teeth” in the mouth. Therefore, when wisdom teeth try to emerge they get impacted under the bone, and they can not come up completely in the jaw.

What happens, then?

NO EXTRACTION. Most dentists prefer to leave these wisdom teeth alone because according to studies, an extraction would cause severe bone impaction, when actually they do rarely cause any infections neither push other teeth nor produce misalignment when left peacefully underneath the jaw.
