ππΏπΌπΊ π’ππΏ ππΉπΌπ΄: "Comprehensive Guide to Impacted Canines and Treatment".
Dental health is incredibly dynamic, and sometimes, even the most diligent oral care routine can be met with challenges along the way. One such condition that may arise is impacted canines, occurring when permanent canine teeth fail to erupt properly and become trapped within the jawbone or gum tissue. As the most commonly impacted teeth after wisdom teeth, it is essential to understand what may lead to impacted canines, the signs of their presence, and how we, at our oral surgery practice, can help you manage and treat this dental complication.
Impacted canines can occur in both the upper and lower jaws and may result from numerous factors, such as insufficient space in the dental arch, misaligned teeth, growths or cysts blocking the path of eruption, or genetic predisposition. Left untreated, impacted canines can cause a myriad of complications, including infection, damage to adjacent teeth, or undesirable shifting of other teeth, ultimately affecting oral function and aesthetics.
