Wisdom Teeth are the third set of human molars. They usually erupt between the late teens or early twenties. Interestingly, some studies show that more than one third of the global population do not develop them at all.

The bad news is when wisdom teeth are formed but do not erupt or they are partially or completely erupted, can produce some problems in your mouth as well as some health issues:

• Because of their position at the end of the mouth, they can be difficult to clean which can cause gum infection and inflammation,
• They can get decay, which later will need to be treated either with, root canals or extarction fillings, root canals or extraction,
• They also can lead to teeth crowding or disarray of nearby teeth, which can lead to future orthodontic, treatments.

Now the good news: they are useless. Some scientifics believe wisdom teeth have become functionless due human evolution and change of feeding and diet habits.
