Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, typically appearing in the late teens or early 20s. Most people have four wisdom teeth, with two located in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. While they can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, problems can occur when these teeth are misaligned or cause overcrowding.
When wisdom teeth are not able to fully erupt or they emerge at a problematic angle, they can lead to various dental issues like pain, infection, damage to neighbouring teeth, and even cause cysts or tumours. In such situations, it is often recommended to have these problematic wisdom teeth removed to prevent further complications.
