An impacted tooth simply means that it cannot break through and function like your other teeth. It’s very common for patients to develop problems with impacted third molar (wisdom) teeth. These teeth often don’t erupt into position in the back of the jaw and, if ignored, can develop painful infections and other problems. The maxillary cuspid (upper eyetooth) is the second most common tooth to become impacted.
