How do I know if I have an impacted wisdom tooth?

During your regular dental checkups, Our team will perform a thorough examination and take x-rays to look for any early signs of problem areas. He will be able to identify if your wisdom teeth have become impacted before they cause any side effects.

An impacted wisdom tooth may cause the following symptoms:

  • Jaw or face pain
  • Numbness
  • Bad breath
  • Swollen neck glands
  • Bleeding gums
  • Headaches
  • Difficulty fully opening the jaw

What’s an impacted wisdom tooth?

Oftentimes, patients’ mouths and jaws simply aren’t large enough for their wisdom teeth to grow in properly. This is called impaction, when the wisdom tooth fails to erupt, partially erupts, or even grows at an angle so that eruption is impossible.

If you avoid getting your impacted wisdom teeth removed, they can cause jawbone damage, nerve damage, infection, and other side effects. It’s best to receive treatment for an impacted wisdom tooth through oral surgery so they don’t affect your other teeth in the future.
