Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the oral cavity. There are four wisdom teeth, one in each quadrant.
At times, wisdom teeth may not erupt properly and remain partially or completely impacted in the jawbone. This may lead to crowding or displacement of other teeth, localized tooth decay or gum infection. The impacted wisdom molars in the jawbone may be in unusual positions, sometimes horizontally or at times vertically, which prevents their eruption in the oral cavity.
