What are Wisdom Teeth ?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars to emerge in the back corners of the mouth. They typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While wisdom teeth can be valuable for chewing if they emerge properly and align with the rest of the teeth, they often become impacted due to lack of space in the jaw. This can lead to various problems, including pain, infection, crowding of adjacent teeth, and damage to nearby structures such as the jawbone or nerves. As a result, many people undergo wisdom tooth extraction, a surgical procedure performed by a dentist or oral surgeon.
