Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge and are located in the very back part of the mouth. They generally come in between the ages of 14-30, although some people never get them at all. For many people, wisdom teeth come in properly and cause no problems at all.
For some people, however, problems arise, and intervention is necessary to avoid future complications. If left untreated, problematic wisdom teeth can lead to pain, tooth decay, gum disease, and occlusion problems.
