Wisdom teeth typically begin to erupt during our late teens or early 20s. Also known as third molars, these teeth are often problematic and are prone to becoming impacted. Wisdom teeth may grow at odd angles that cause them to press against adjacent teeth, potentially causing misalignment, and can damage your jaw. They’re also difficult to clean, making them susceptible to decay. Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure best performed by a specialist.
