Wisdom teeth, also defined as third molars, are any of the four third molars placed in an adult set of pearly whites. Wisdom teeth are the last chompers in the oral arches, and some people don’t have all four or even any of the wisdom teeth form in their oral cavity. In uncommon cases, an individual can advance more than four wisdom teeth. Since wisdom teeth can become stuck underneath the gum tissue, they aren’t always visible, and people with them may not realize they have them; it might take a practitioner to evaluate whether you have wisdom teeth. If you do have wisdom teeth and they are harming you, your dentist may suggest removing them.
