What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars and typically appear between the late teenage years and early twenties. Because there is often limited space in the jaw, these teeth may grow at an angle, become trapped beneath the gums, or press against surrounding teeth.

When this happens, wisdom teeth can cause swelling, pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. While not everyone needs wisdom teeth removed, monitoring their development and addressing problems early can help prevent future complications.
