Canine teeth play a crucial role in biting and chewing food. When one doesn’t come in properly, it’s called an impacted canine tooth. This can lead to discomfort and alignment issues. But there are effective ways to treat them. The most important thing is don’t wait. Early intervention can prevent complications such as crowding or infections and make treatment easier. So, address the issue early and work with your dentist or orthodontist to create a personalised plan.
