A wisdom tooth is the last molar tooth in the mouth that appears at a later age. Wisdom teeth are usually four in number two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. Most often wisdom teeth do not have enough space to erupt straight in the mouth. Due to this they get decayed posing a threat to neighboring teeth as well. Impacted wisdom teeth can be very painful and can cause constant nagging pain, ear/jaw ache, difficulty in opening the mouth /chewing etc. If left in the mouth for a long time they can develop infection which spreads to surrounding gums and bone.

Wisdom teeth may get stuck (impacted) against other teeth if there is not enough space for them to come through normally,[3] from the jaw being too small, probably because of insufficient chewing of hard and crunchy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, in the years when the bones are still growing.[4] Impacted wisdom teeth are still sometimes removed for orthodontic treatment, believing that they move the other teeth and cause crowding, though this is not held anymore as true.[5] Impacted wisdom teeth may suffer from tooth decay if oral hygiene becomes more difficult. Wisdom teeth which are partially erupted through the gum may also cause inflammation[3] and infection in the surrounding gum tissues, termed pericoronitis. Some more conservative treatments, such as operculectomies, may be fitting for some cases, yet impacted wisdom teeth are commonly extracted as treatment for these problems, many times before these problems even occur. Some institutions and researchers oppose this preventive removal of disease-free impacted wisdom teeth, among them the United Kingdom’s National Health Service and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.[5][6][7]
