May 8, 2017
An impacted tooth is a tooth that becomes blocked or faces an obstruction as it tries to come out of the gums. The dental term the tooth coming out of the gums is called eruption or erupting teeth. Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted teeth. Impacted teeth can be painful, but sometimes there may be no pain present. As a result, it is possible not to know that you have an impacted tooth until symptoms appear in the mouth. An impacted tooth can be painless. You may not even realize it’s there. However, when an impacted wisdom tooth tries to come in, the flap of gum on top of it can become infected and swollen. This can hurt. You might even feel pain in nearby teeth, or in the ear on that side of your face.
