Wisdom Teeth and problems it causes

Wisdom teeth is a common term in Asian countries like Pakistan and India. They believe that the ending and final set of teeth which grows between 17 to 25 are called wisdom teeth.

 

The name is given so because this set comes at a very mature age. And people usually get more mature than teenagers.

 

From our very early age to the mature age, we lost our teeth and then regrow them over time. But a very last edge or set is not grown until the maturity age arrives.

The last teeth set usually erupts by finding extra space in the mouth. If there is enough extra space and the other teeth are not crowded then there is no issue.
