When a tooth doesnโt fully erupt into the mouth, itโs usually impacted and unable to break completely through the gums because there isnโt enough room.
An impacted wisdom tooth can damage neighboring teeth or lead to infection. Because these areas of the mouth are difficult to clean, a wisdom tooth can develop a cavity or collect bacteria leading to gum disease.
