What Are Wisdom Teeth? Gilbert, AZ
Should you be concerned about impacted wisdom teeth?
Teeth are impacted when they fail to emerge through the gums at a certain expected time. Your wisdom teeth, also called third molars, usually begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. These teeth are the last to emerge in the mouth and they are the most common teeth to become impacted. This may happen because wisdom tooth is turned to the side, tilted or otherwise positioned in the jaw. Wisdom teeth also become impacted when there is not enough room in the jaw for them to emerge.
