The wisdom teeth or third molars are the last teeth to erupt and usually appear between the ages of 17 to 21. Very often these teeth do flot always have enough space to erupt«at the back of the upper and lower jaws and develop at an angle causing the tooth to become impacted. Sometimes the wisdom teeth only erupt partially and become prone to recurrent infection and decay. This can Ilead ta swelling, pain and difficulty opening the jaw. By checking the development of your wisdom teeth during regular checkups and dental X-rays, your dentist can determine whether your wisdom teeth have enough space to erupt through the gum or If they should be removed.
