Impacted Teeth: When a Tooth Cannot Erupt Normally
An impacted tooth is partly or completely blocked from coming into the mouth. It may cause no problem, or it may affect nearby teeth, gums or comfort. I assess the position and risk before discussing monitoring, exposure or removal.
What I will help you check
- Symptoms, gum health and the tooth’s position.
- Effects on nearby roots, bone or planned orthodontic movement.
- Whether monitoring or referral is the safer path.
Ask me: What could happen if we monitor this tooth?
