Third molars, also called wisdom teeth, are the last permanent teeth to erupt in a person's mouth. They can be very unpredictable due to their position. Wisdom teeth may pose a risk when:
- They erupt either fully or partly but due to your jaw not being big enough to accommodate them – they may exert pressure on the remaining teeth often resulting in teeth misalignment and bite problems. They are usually very hard to clean around which creates plethora of issues, the most common being painful gum swelling
- They are impacted and do not erupt through the gum. As a result, they crowd the roots of other teeth, cause misalignment, and can change your bite and cause pain, swelling and discomfort
