The third molars (wisdom teeth), are typically the last teeth to erupt. Because they are the last to come in, there is often not sufficient space for the wisdom teeth to grow as they should. When there is not enough room, they may become impacted (unable to fully break through the gum tissues and jawbone), or they may grow in at an incorrect angle and this can lead to several dental problems, such as:
Disturbing the natural tooth alignment or orthodontic treatment
Damage to the neighboring teeth
Tooth decay
Infection and inflammation in the surrounding tissues
Cysts formation
