Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to erupt into the mouth.Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth - two on the top, and two on the bottom.Sometimes these teeth don't have enough room to emerge or develop normally.They are said to be impacted. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no apparent or immediate problems. However, they are difficult to clean and more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease. At times, they may also cause pain and damage to adjacent teeth.

You should consult your dentist in case, the tooth becomes painful, gums become swollen and tender, mouth opening is restricted, etc.
