When wisdom teeth are prevented from erupting into the mouth properly, they are referred to as impacted. Impacted teeth may cause infection, decay of adjacent teeth, gum disease or formation of a cyst or tumor from the follicle tissue around the tooth. Durham dentist Dr. Gary Schlotterer usually recommends removal of impacted wisdom teeth to prevent potential problems.
