Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars at the back of the mouth that don't have enough room to emerge or develop normally. Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into the mouth (erupt). Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom.

Wisdom teeth or third molars are the teeth furthest away in the dental arches and they are usually the last ones to erupt… if they ever come out! For their eruption to occur normally, there must be sufficient growth at the back of the jaws to accommodate these teeth.

Wisdom tooth removal can be carried out by a dentist or a specialist surgeon working in a hospital. If your dentist recommends removing your wisdom teeth, they'll take an X-ray of your mouth to help them determine who should carry out the procedure.

Impacted wisdom teeth are more difficult to remove, leave you at greater risk for complications from surgery, and can permanently damage bones and other teeth. Also, the longer wisdom teeth pain persists, the more likely it is that an infection will result from bacteria entering open tissue.

Wisdom teeth pain can be constant for some people, while other people only experience pain and discomfort when chewing food or touching the area. Most dental professionals advise that wisdom teeth should be removed before wisdom teeth pain becomes an issue.

As we get older, these teeth shed and an adult human should have 32 teeth. Most people, however, have their wisdom teeth extracted and as a result end up with 28 teeth. Sometime teeth are also removed for orthodontic purposes or for braces. If you have too many teeth, this can cause problems with esthetics or crowding.

In many people, wisdom teeth can erupt and grow normally, and there is no reason to remove them. While everyone should have a routine dental X-ray around the time of wisdom tooth emergence, only people with pain or signs of impaction or abnormalities need removal.

Most problems with wisdom teeth happen when a person is 15 to 25 years old. Few people older than 30 have problems with their wisdom teeth that require them to be removed. Most dentists feel that if you're 16 to 19 years old, you should have your wisdom teeth looked at.

Wisdom tooth removal is a routine and popular dental treatment and because we use local anaesthetic you can expect the treatment to be painless and cost around £150-300 depending on the complexity. Upper and lower teeth are different and can be more or less complicated depending on the circumstances.

Most children and young adults get their wisdom teeth between the ages of 17 and 21. With wisdom teeth, exceptions exist, however. While some may only get one or two of their wisdom teeth, others will get all four, and still others won't get any.

Wisdom teeth that do not have enough room to grow properly are known as impacted wisdom teeth. They do not fully erupt into the mouth. As a result, they can grow in the wrong direction, coming out sideways, at a wrong angle, or only partially. This can affect nearby teeth.

The "wisdom teeth", or third molars, are the last of the permanent teeth to erupt into the mouth. This tends to occur at the age of 18-25 years (historically but inaccurately associated with the development of wisdom). Wisdom teeth are always the teeth furthest back in each quadrant of the mouth.

Wisdom teeth usually emerge sometime between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people have wisdom teeth that emerge without any problems and line up with the other teeth behind the second molars. In many cases, however, the mouth is too crowded for third molars to develop normally.
