Our mouths can comfortably fit 28 teeth, but with the addition of wisdom teeth there are 32, making it a bit of a squeeze. So, what happens? Your wisdom teeth are quite tenacious and will find the path of least resistant to break through to the surface or they will not move at all. Read on to find out how wisdom teeth are a problem.

In some cases, wisdom teeth can come through perfectly straight and form part of a healthy mouth.

In many case wisdom teeth try and push through to the surface and can only make it through partially with can lead to pain and discomfort.

What issues can a partially impacted wisdom tooth cause?

  • The teeth next to your wisdom teeth could be pushed forward to make space, this can cause a domino effect and before you know it your teeth could have moved significantly.
  • The partially erupted tooth can cause infection and inflammation around the jaw line.
  • Due to your teeth pushing together, there might be a build-up of decay where you can’t floss between teeth.
  • Sometimes the pressure against the next tooth can resorb it and cause damage to a perfectly healthy tooth.
