WISDOM TOOTH (PART 2)

Partial Eruption

The crown, or top of the tooth, may erupt, or just break through the gum. Since the tooth can’t completely emerge, the area around the eruption can easily be infected. Compounding this problem is that wisdom teeth are very difficult to brush or floss, even if they do make it about the gum line.

Impaction
When a wisdom tooth has no room to erupt it becomes impacted. An impacted tooth is usually contained completely within the bone and can lie in many different orientations. Serious complications can result from an impacted tooth. The sac that surrounds the impacted tooth can become filled with fluid, enlarging to a cyst and causing permanent bone damage. Left untreated, a tumor may develop which requires a more complex procedure to remove the tooth.
