Wisdom Teeth (Third Molars)
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually erupt between 17–25 years of age. Not everyone has them, and not all wisdom teeth need removal — only the problematic ones.
✅ Why Wisdom Teeth Cause Problems
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough space to grow, leading to:
Impaction (stuck inside gum or bone)
Pain & swelling
Infection (pericoronitis)
Tooth decay
Gum disease
Crowding of teeth
Damage to adjacent molar (2nd molar)
Cysts (rare)
📌 Types of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Vertical impaction – grows straight but stuck
Horizontal impaction – grows sideways
Mesial impaction – tilted forward
Distal impaction – tilted backward
Soft-tissue impaction
