Symptom Breakdown
What you feel
A permanent tooth fails to emerge into the mouth when expected. You might feel a hard lump beneath the gums, experience unexplained dull jaw aches, or notice a baby tooth that simply won't fall out. Often, it is completely painless and discovered only via X-ray.
Why it happens
Severe crowding and lack of jaw space, abnormal eruption angles, extra teeth blocking the path, or cysts forming around the tooth bud. The most commonly impacted teeth are wisdom teeth and upper maxillary canines.
Clinical Advice
- Do not wait for a significantly delayed tooth to erupt on its own.
- A 3D CBCT scan is essential to map the exact 3D position of the stuck tooth and ensure it is not damaging the roots of adjacent healthy teeth.
Treatment Note
Surgical uncovery with orthodontic traction (physically guiding the tooth into place using braces), or surgical extraction if the tooth is severely malpositioned.
Free the Hidden Tooth
An impacted tooth stuck inside the jawbone can cause silent but severe damage over time, including destroying the roots of healthy neighboring teeth or forming expanding cysts. With advanced 3D imaging, our specialists can precisely locate the tooth, carefully uncover it, and use specialized orthodontics to gently guide it into its rightful position.
