Embedded teeth - what does this mean
Embedded teeth occur when a tooth fails to fully erupt from the gums due to obstruction from surrounding teeth, bone, or gum tissue. this can be caused by overcrowding, abnormal jaw structure, or a lack of space in the jaw.
What happens during the disease - embedded teeth
Embedded teeth is a condition in which the teeth become stuck in the jawbone and cannot emerge normally. it is typically caused by a lack of space in the jawbone for the teeth to grow, leading to the teeth becoming trapped and unable to emerge. it can also be caused by trauma to the jawbone, such as a blow or a fall, or by the misalignment of the teeth. the condition can cause pain, difficulty in eating and speaking, and can lead to infection if not treated properly.
