An impacted wisdom tooth manifests when these molars encounter an obstruction that thwarts their proper emergence into the oral cavity. This common occurrence often results from neighboring teeth exerting pressure or from the tooth’s misalignment, preventing it from assuming its intended vertical position.

Addressing impacted wisdom teeth often necessitates wisdom tooth extraction as the primary solution. The complexity of the procedure hinges on factors such as the extent of impaction and the angle of the affected tooth. The extraction process can range from relatively straightforward scenarios to more intricate surgical interventions. The choice between local anesthetic, general anesthetic, or sedation is contingent on the individual circumstances and the patient’s comfort level.
