WHAT ARE WISDOM TEETH?
Wisdom Teeth Are the Last Permanent Teeth to Appear in Your Mouth
Usually between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five.
By this point, you will have grown all of your other teeth, and your wisdom teeth are going to have to fight for space. This can lead to what we call impaction, where wisdom teeth grow at an angle towards the next tooth, the back of the mouth, parallel to the jawbone – even remaining trapped within the jawbone.
Impacted wisdom teeth cause a range of problems, such as jaw pain, gum infections, decay (not only in the wisdom tooth but the tooth in front as well) and even a swollen face.
