What is an Impacted Wisdom Tooth?
Wisdom teeth usually come in the age between 17 to 25 years. But they can also come before or after that age range. These are the last set of molars also called "third molars". However, the problem is they often come in impacted. Because there is no extra space (in your mouth) for these unwanted guests.So they lay down (horizontally) in their position and try to grow in sideways or in the wrong direction. Hence they push other teeth (when erupting) and create complications like swollen gums, infection, severe pain in jaw, neck, head and also bad taste, bad breath etc. As, these teeth do not come straight instead lay down horizontally, erupt partially and create problems, these are known as Impacted wisdom teeth.
