  1. What you need to know about Wisdom Teeth

  2. Introduction Wisdom teeth are usually referred to as third molars, and they appear at the back of the mouth. Some people don’t experience a single issue with wisdom teeth, but in others they can cause severe pain, infection and discomfort.

  3. Where do wisdom teeth come in? Most people usually develop four wisdom teeth, each emerging behind the second molars on both sides of the upper and lower jaw. They usually appear during the ages of 17 to 21. Wisdom teeth emerge differently depending on the person.

  4. More about wisdom teeth Wisdom teeth begin growing around the jaw at around age seven, not just before birth like other teeth. Wisdom teeth have been useful in the past for replacing molars that had become worn out. Nowadays, our diets are softer than previous times and we don’t need replacement teeth. Wisdom teeth can result in overcrowding, bone and nerve damage and infections.

  5. Symptoms of Wisdom Teeth Pain at the back of the mouth, behind the molars. This pain will gradually increase with time as the wisdom teeth continue to grow in misaligned or sideways, if the wisdom tooth isn't addressed in a timely manner, it can start affecting and eating away the tooth in front of it! • Pain • Redness • Tenderness and/or swelling around the area As wisdom teeth begin to erupt through the surface of the gums,the small crevices will allow bacteria to enter through open tissue, which can result in infection. If not addressed, oral infections can potentially affect your overall health and wellbeing.
