Wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and often referred to as the third molars. They are usually the last to come in, and because of this, there is sometimes not enough room for them to properly fit. When there is not enough space for them to grow correctly, they may become impacted, or grow at an incorrect angle.
These complications can lead to other dental problems, including:
- Damage to teeth nearby
- Tooth decay
- Infection and or inflammation in mouth tissue like gums
- Cyst formation
- Jawbone damage
- Natural tooth alignment or orthodontic treatment disturbance
