Impacted tooth problem means that in some individuals, one or more wisdom teeth could not come out on time and some of them were visible from the outside and some of them remained buried.

In some individuals, the entire impacted tooth may remain in the jawbone, while in some individuals, a certain part of the tooth may not be visible because there is soft tissue on it.

In both cases, the risk of infection is high and the tooth/teeth should be removed, as they cause problems such as pain and swelling.
