What is a wisdom tooth ?
Well, wisdom tooth appear late in life, much later than your other teeth. While most teeth appear in childhood, the 3rd molar comes at an age when you are much wiser. Firstly, these teeth are the third and final set of molars you get in the late teens or early twenties. On the other hand, these teeth can be a great asset if fully erupted healthy, and properly aligned. Moreover, most of the time, these molars necessitates removal because of their misaligned position. Sometimes your 3rd molar teeth position themselves horizontally. Their angulations are sometimes away or towards the second molars. However, If these teeth are poorly aligned, they could crowd or damage the adjacent teeth, jawbone or even the nerves.
