Impacted tooth
Hello Doctor, i have an impacted wisdom tooth which isn't really fully out and is tilted with most of the part inside gums. My question is that whether that visible top part of the tooth can be filled with permanent filling so that food does not get accumulate or gets struck on it??

No filling is not possible sir. Keep that area clean with regular professional cleaning every six months and gargling. Permanent solution is please remove the tooth.

No filling can help you with further future caries and infection. Infact it can decay the tooth adjacent to it. So without any further delay get it removed.

No filling is not recommended in a tilted/ impacted tooth.
Get it extracted before severe pain or swelling increases.

Hi,
Filling can’t be done in an impacted tooth.
A permanent solution is to remove it .
