Wisdom Teeth

As you reach 16 to 20 years old, you will probably start to feel discomfort from your wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into your mouth and are located behind your back molars. As wisdom teeth come in, they can cause pain, discomfort, pressure on other teeth, and sometimes infection. The only way to relieve these symptoms are to get these teeth extracted.
