Wisdom teeth are the last molars on each side of the jaw. They are usually the last teeth to come in or erupt, usually between ages 16 and 20. Since they are the last of your permanent teeth to come in, there may not be enough room for them to grow in properly without becoming impacted or disturbing other teeth. Wisdom teeth that do not erupt properly can cause dental problems such as:

• Disturbance to the alignment of your teeth
• Damage to surrounding teeth
• Tooth decay
• Damage to the jawbone
• Tenderness, swelling and infection in the gums and other tissues in the mouth
• Cysts
