If one has an impacted wisdom tooth, it means that their tooth has not had enough room to grow and are stuck under the gum or have only partially erupted. One can visit their dentist to find out if they have an impacted wisdom tooth.

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come through, generally around ages 16 to 18, and are found at the very back of the mouth. Impacted wisdom teeth are leaning back in the mouth and may still be mostly surrounded by bone.

Whoever takes your XRay (Dentist or Oral surgeon) will let you know if they are or not. You can usually tell if you don't feel them breaking in through your gums if they are impacted or not.
