Common Questions  
  15. What is an impacted tooth?

Teeth are impacted when they remain partially or completely under the gum tissue instead of coming into the mouth, as they should. While impaction usually occurs when teeth are very crowded, it can also happen for no apparent reason. Dr. Hendrix will explain all available treatment options if this situation applies to your child.
