What are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are molars and the last in line in the upper and lower jaws.

Wisdom teeth are the last to develop and grow in when you are “older and wiser”, usually between 16 and 20 years of age.

If the wisdom teeth will not erupt normally and become functional, have the potential to cause severe problems, and since the risks of removal are lowest with early removal, it is beneficial to avoid a problem rather than wait for one.
