Impacted Teeth: The Causes
and Impacts to
YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
The human body often
suffers different issues in its
various parts, one of which
is the tooth.
One of the peculiar issues that
are associated with human
teeth is the impacted teeth.
An impacted teeth is
prevented from breaking
through the gum due to
a variety of factors.
Wisdom teeth, which are typically
the last teeth to grow, are the
most commonly impacted.
When wisdom teeth.
Also known as third
molars appear, the
jaw has most often
stopped growing.
As a result the mouth
and the jaw may be
insufficient to
accommodate them.
SYMPTOMS OF
IMPACTED TEETH
Often, impacted teeth are
discovered during routine X-ray
at the dentists office.
However, if a

causes other
dental issues.

CAUSES OF
IMPACTED
TEETH
Generally, a tooth
becomes impacted
when there isnt
enough room in
your mouth for it.
This could be due to inherited
traits or orthodontic treatment.
In many cases, the mouth is too
crowded for third molar
development to occur normally.
The tooth, whether
partially or completely
impacted, could:
Grow in at an angle to the second
molar or the following next tooth
Grown in at an angle in the
direction of the back of the mouth
Wisdom teeth could
grow at a right angle to
another tooth, as if it
were lying down along
the jawline.
They can grow
down or straight
up, but may be
locked within the
jawbone.
Prevention of
Impacted
Teeth
Keeping regular six-month
dental appointments for
checkups & cleaning allows
the dentist to keep a tab on
the wisdom teeth.
Regularly updated dental x-rays
can detect impacted wisdom teeth
even before symptoms appear.
