An impacted tooth is a tooth that fails to emerge fully into its proper position in the mouth. It is often stuck against another tooth or bone, preventing it from erupting. Supernumerary teeth refer to extra teeth that develop in the mouth, primary teeth are the first set of teeth that erupt in children and are eventually replaced by permanent teeth.
