Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last adult teeth to emerge, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Most individuals have four wisdom teeth, though some may have fewer or none at all.
Since wisdom teeth erupt later than other teeth, there is often limited jaw space for them to emerge properly. As a result, they may erupt at an angle, only partially emerge, or remain completely trapped in the bone - resulting in impacted wisdom teeth.
