The third and final set of molars to erupt, your wisdom teeth are located in the very back of the mouth. They usually develop in the late teens or early twenties, but they can erupt anywhere between the ages of 14-30. Some people never get a full set of wisdom teeth. For many people, wisdom teeth grow in properly and do not cause any problems at all. For many others however, wisdom teeth can prove to be problematic, and dental intervention is necessary in order to avoid dangerous complications. If problematic wisdom teeth are left untreated, it could lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and occlusion problems.
