An impacted tooth can lead to an infection called pericoronitis. If untreated, this infection can spread to the throat or into the neck. Severe infections require a hospital stay and surgery. Impacted teeth also can get cavities. An impacted tooth can push on the neighboring molar.
Noun. 1. fiction-a literary work based on the imagination and not necessarily on fact. literary composition, literary work-imaginative or creative writing. dystopia-a work of fiction describing an imaginary place where life is extremely bad because of deprivation or oppression or terror.
Some works of fiction are slightly or greatly re-imagined based on some originally true story, or a reconstructed biography. Often, even when the author claims the fictional story is basically true, there may be artificial additions and subtractions from the true story to make it more interesting. One such example would be Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, a series of historical fiction short stories about the Vietnam War.
