Impaction/ Oral Surgery Treatment in Karaikudi
Impaction/ Oral Surgery
You may need oral surgery if one of your teeth never came in properly. Most people think of an impacted tooth in relation to a wisdom tooth that only grew in partially or remained impacted; very often, that is what we treat in our Highlands Ranch dental office.
