Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are the furthest back in our mouths. They typically emerge between the ages of 18 and 20, although the timing can vary between people. Unlike other teeth, wisdom teeth may not properly emerge due to limited space in the jawbone, often resulting in them growing sideways or becoming impacted within the gums.
