What is Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually appear at the back of your mouth between the ages of 17 and 25. It is also known as the third molars. Most people have four wisdom teeth —two on the top and two on the bottom
If a wisdom tooth does not erupt normally , they may be enclosed within soft tissue of jaw bone. This is also known as impacted wisdom tooth
Removal of a impacted wisdom tooth will require a minor surgery
