HORIZONTAL IMPACTION is the position and angulation of your tooth lying in the jaw. If its decayed and causing problems, you should get it removed as soon as possible. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is the right person you should see. Its an easy job for them and it can be done without any discomfort. It's a very normal and routine procedure. Go ahead without any fear.
Health Tips
Till you see your dentist, do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day if there is pain or discomfort
