“What is the treatment for a very impacted wisdom tooth?”
My daughter's wisdom tooth is extremely impacted, and is causing her a lot of pain. What should be done to help her?

In general, pain comes from inflammation. Imaging of the area is important to rule out any pathology. Often, the treatment includes removal of the impacted tooth. Pain can also be muscular as well, so inquire with your surgeon about that.

It's best to see an oral surgeon for examination.
