An Impacted Tooth is one that does not entirely emerge from the gums to get to a normal position and have a full functional value. It is also called an Unemerged Tooth, and is a very common problem
Normally, this happens when such teeth are obstructed from full emergence due to several reasons and remain curbed, within the jaw tissue and bones
The wisdom tooth (called the third molar, located at the inside end of the mouth) is the most common teeth that create problems of this nature

An Impacted Tooth may be diagnosed through oral examination. Treatment measures commonly involve the use of medications to control pain and other symptoms, and extraction of problem tooth
