Wisdom Teeth
The last teeth to come in during or after adolescence are the 3rd molars, or “wisdom teeth.” There are the fortunate few who can comfortably keep their wisdom teeth, but for most people the amount of space available at this age is limited, causing the teeth to become impacted and unable to emerge properly. If your wisdom teeth are not evaluated by a skilled dentist they could damage the teeth around them and cause discomfort and problems for years to come.
