Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars. Most people see these teeth erupt in their late teens or early twenties - perhaps just in time to have gained some wisdom. Why Might They Need to be Removed? Sometimes wisdom teeth grown in and cause no problems. Often however the development of wisdom teeth can present a series of complications. When wisdom teeth begin to erupt the flap of gum tissue that grows over the tooth is raised, creating a space for food to become trapped which can cause infection. Another common complication is misalignment of the wisdom teeth. Misaligned wisdom teeth can be angled towards or away from the second molars.
