Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars in your mouth, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, as seen on X-rays. Due to their location at the back of the mouth, they often encounter issues during their development. These molars can become impacted, meaning they don't grow in properly, leading to various complications.

Because of their position, wisdom teeth may not erupt correctly, causing pain, discomfort, and potential oral health problems. Monitoring their growth and addressing any issues promptly is essential to prevent complications such as infections, damage to neighboring teeth, and misalignment.

Regular dental check-ups and X-rays enable dentists to monitor the development of wisdom teeth and recommend appropriate interventions if necessary. By staying vigilant and proactive, potential problems associated with wisdom teeth can be addressed effectively, ensuring optimal oral health and well-being.
