This dental milestone usually takes place between the ages of 17 and 21, but patients can have their wisdom teeth come in at almost any age. Unfortunately, while these are the last teeth to come in, they also cause the most problems. Wisdom teeth can erupt at weird angles or you may not have enough space in your mouth for them to come in. When this is the case, it is known as an “impacted wisdom tooth.”

So how do you know if your tooth will come in straight or be impacted? Here are a few signs and symptoms that you’ll want to look out for.

Signs & Symptoms of Impacted Teeth:

  • Red Gums
  • Swollen Gums
  • Jaw Pain
  • Tender Gums
  • Bleeding Gums
  • Swelling Around the Jaw
  • Bad Breath
  • Unpleasant Taste in Your Mouth
  • Difficulty Opening Your Mouth
