Could my wisdom tooth be impacted?
Q.
Hi,
3 of my wisdom teeth have come out. They haven’t cause me problems, apart from they are all facing the gum outwards (just slightly), but are fine.
But recently my last wisdom tooth has started coming up.
It has broken the skin. But only on one side, and now there is a gap between the wisdom tooth and the other tooth. Does this mean the wisdom tooth is impacted?

Not necesarily as it has just started to erupt through the skin so one cannot judge if it growing in the right direction. Do get it x-rayed if it causes you pain/discomfort.
