Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are a type of molar. Molars are the chewing teeth found furthest in the back of the mouth. Most humans have first, second, and third molars. The third molars are the wisdom teeth. These teeth come in behind the 2nd molars if there is room for them, and they are aligned properly, usually during a person’s late teens or early twenties. Typically a person will have four wisdom teeth: upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right.
What are Impacted wisdom teeth?
Impacted refers to a tooth that has failed to emerge fully into its expected position. The failure to erupt properly might occur because there is not enough room in a person’s jaw to accommodate the tooth, or because the angulation of the tooth is improper.
Removing Impacted Wisdom teeth
The removal of impacted wisdom teeth has become so commonplace that the process of having these extractions performed has practically become a right of passage for teenagers.
