What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is a third molar that fails to emerge fully or in the correct position, often trapped beneath the gum and bone. This can cause pain, swelling, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Surgical extraction is the standard treatment to prevent complications, and in China, it is performed as a same-day procedure under IV sedation for patient comfort.
