Your wisdom teeth are the four teeth located right at the back of your mouth. You may need your wisdom teeth removed if they are causing problems. Your wisdom teeth may not be able to come through normally if they don’t have enough space or you have other teeth in the way. Wisdom teeth that don’t come through normally are known as impacted. It’s important to clean your teeth thoroughly if you have impacted wisdom teeth and see your dentist regularly. Impacted wisdom teeth can sometimes cause problems such as pain, swelling or infection. If you are having problems such as these with your wisdom teeth, make an appointment to see your dentist. Having impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed can help to stop these problems.
