Parents get very excited when they notice their child's teeth are coming in. Children can't wait for their adult teeth to replace the baby teeth that fell out. There is something special about seeing a tooth emerge from the gums, but what happens when the teeth fail to break through the skin. It leads to a problem called an impacted tooth. We can help people treat the impacted tooth and relieve the pain and discomfort that comes with it. When No Symptoms ExistThere are times when you will not have any symptoms from an impacted tooth. A person who is asymptomatic may think they have nothing to worry about. They assume they can go on and do not need to seek any treatment for their impacted tooth.
