What does it mean when a tooth is impacted?

An impacted tooth is one that doesn’t fully erupt through the gums due to insufficient space or blockage by another tooth. Impacted teeth, especially wisdom teeth, often lead to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. If left untreated, they can cause cysts or misalignment. Removal is typically recommended to prevent these complications and maintain optimal oral health.

How long does it take to heal from an impacted wisdom tooth extraction?

Healing from an impacted wisdom tooth extraction typically takes about one to two weeks. Swelling and discomfort are common for the first few days and can be managed with prescribed pain relief and ice packs. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, but full healing of the gum tissue and bone may take several months. Following Dr. Villamayor’s aftercare instructions will help ensure a smoother and quicker recovery.

How will I know if I need my impacted wisdom teeth removed?

You may need your impacted wisdom teeth removed if you experience pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or infections around the back of your jaw. Sometimes, impacted teeth don’t cause immediate symptoms but still pose risks to adjacent teeth or oral health. Our team will use X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and determine if removal is necessary to prevent future complications. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for early detection and treatment.
