Wisdom teeth are your third set of molars that typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. These late-arriving teeth are located at the very back of your mouth, and not everyone gets all four. In some cases, wisdom teeth never fully develop or only partially erupt through the gums.
Often, there isn’t enough space in the mouth for these teeth to grow in properly. When this happens, they may become impacted, meaning they are stuck under the gumline or pushing against neighboring teeth—leading to discomfort or future dental problems.
