Need to Know: Impacted Wisdom Tooth

Posted on 09 July 2020

Wisdom teeth are your third molars and the last to arrive. When there is not enough room for a wisdom tooth to come through, it can create issues that a dentist needs to investigate.

Key takeaways:

- An impacted tooth can push other teeth out of alignment.

- Impacted teeth are difficult to clean and can become infected.

- Pain, swelling or bleeding around your wisdom teeth should be checked by a dentist.

Extraction of the wisdom tooth may be the solution. Don’t ignore the symptoms of problematic wisdom teeth—they won’t go away on their own!
