Common Problems Associated With Wisdom Teeth – Wisdom Tooth Pain Brampton

What are wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are categorized as the lower and upper third molars, and they are situated at the rear end of your mouth. Wisdom teeth tend to grow between the age of 17 to 21.

Common causes of wisdom teeth pain

If your wisdom teeth have grown without any complications, it is likely to not cause any problems in the future. Alternatively, an impacted wisdom tooth may grow where the crown is only partly visible or it may never actually grow beyond the gum line. If wisdom teeth are fully impacted or partially impacted, common problems may include:

• Growth on an angle affecting neighboring teeth or the back of the mouth
• The growth of the wisdom tooth is irregular and in the incorrect direction where it’s “lying down” in your jawbone
• Limited space within your jaw resulting in crowding causing wisdom tooth impaction.
