A member asked:
How would you know if you have an impacted wisdom tooth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Often you don't: Because an impacted wisdom tooth is typically under the gum tissue and is usually without symptoms. Radiographs are needed to determine if a tooth is impacted.

Ask your dentist: An impacted tooth is under the gum and bone, and you would need radiographs to see it.
