Tooth impaction
An impacted tooth is one that fails to erupt into the dental arch within the expected developmental window. Because impacted teeth do not erupt, they are retained throughout the individual's lifetime unless extracted or exposed surgically.
Symptoms:
- Bad breath
- Difficulty opening the mouth (occasionally)
- Pain or tenderness of the gums (gingiva) or jaw bone
- Prolonged headache or jaw ache
- Redness and swelling of the gums around the impacted tooth
- Swollen lymph nodes of the neck (occasionally)
- Unpleasant taste when biting down on or near the area
- Visible gap where a tooth did not emerge
Preliminary plan:
- Dentist appointment
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Urinalysis
- Stool analys - Protozoans and Helminths (microscopy)
- Blood test:
- Urea (BUN)
- Creatinine
- Glucose
- Bilirubin
- Cholesterol
- Potassium Sodium Chlorine (K, Na, Cl) (blood)
- Orthopantomogram
