Wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the very back of the mouth. There are four in total, and they typically erupt between the ages of 16 and 25. Although commonly called "20-year teeth," they may erupt much later in some individuals.
Since everyone’s jaw and tooth anatomy is different, wisdom teeth do not always cause problems. However, some individuals may experience symptoms such as:
