What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to appear at the very back of your mouth. Some people never develop them, while others may have one to four. Often, there isn’t enough space in the jaw for them to erupt properly, causing problems like:
Impaction – Trapped under the gums or against other teeth
Partial eruption – Breaking through at an angle or awkward position
Crowding – Pushing against nearby teeth and disrupting alignment
Infection – Due to trapped food and difficulty cleaning
Symptoms of Problematic Wisdom Teeth
If your wisdom teeth are causing issues, you may experience:
Jaw pain or pressure
Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
Difficulty opening your mouth
Bad breath or unpleasant taste
Headaches or earaches
Visible swelling in the jaw area
Even without pain, wisdom teeth can silently damage surrounding structures or cause infections.
