Wisdom Teeth
Molars are the “chewing” or “grinding” teeth at the back of your mouth. Wisdom teeth are the third molars the very back teeth. There is one third molar in each of the four corners of the mouth. Wisdom teeth are the last of the permanent teeth to develop often not erupting until the late teens or early twenties. This delay means that by the time the wisdom teeth are ready to erupt there is often no room in the mouth left for them. For this reason wisdom teeth often become impacted. In dental terms the term impacted refers to teeth that have failed to fully erupt into their proper place in the mouth.
