What Is a Wisdom Tooth? Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. These third molars are located at the back of the mouth and were once essential for chewing tough, coarse foods. However, in today’s modern jaw structure, there’s often not enough space for them to grow properly. At Smile Orchid Dental Clinic in Kilpauk, we often see patients with impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth. These can lead to pain, swelling, gum infection, tooth crowding, or even cyst formation. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth may damage nearby healthy teeth and cause jaw discomfort. Common symptoms include: Pain at the back of the mouth Swollen or bleeding gums Difficulty opening the mouth Persistent bad breath We recommend regular dental check-ups and X-rays to monitor the position of your wisdom teeth. If removal is necessary, our experienced dentists offer gentle, safe, and effective extraction procedures using advanced technology.
