Key Takeaways

  1. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are last in line in the back of the mouth and are usually the last teeth to develop.
  2. Most of us have four wisdom teeth, one at the back in each section of the mouth. For many people, wisdom teeth emerge from the jaw between the ages of 17 and 25 years, and they don’t cause problems.
  3. Wisdom teeth infection is most of the time the result of tooth decay development.
