It is the earliest and most easily treated from of gum disease, as it only affects the gums, but it must be treated to avoid more serious gum disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Impacted\/Wisdom Teeth<\/strong><br \/>\nAn <a href=\"https:\/\/savetheteeth.com\/procedures\/dental-problems\/impacted-wisdom-teeth\/\">impacted tooth<\/a> is one that fails to properly emerge through the gums. Dr. Michele Claeys will recommend extraction of impacted wisdom teeth if they pose a problem for your mouth and other teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jaw Disorders<\/strong><br \/>\nMost <a href=\"https:\/\/savetheteeth.com\/procedures\/dental-problems\/jaw-disorders\/\">problems with the jaw<\/a> come from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles that help you chew.
