When you approach 17 years of age, your last set of teeth are due to erupt. These teeth are called third molars or wisdom teeth.

This is called an impaction.

Please note it is very important that you discuss with your dentist any problems you have with your wisdom teeth and get regular check ups. Your dentist will be the best person to advise you on any issues and the most relevant course of action for you and your circumstances.

Simple sugars can be found in things such as candy, gum and pop. The general rule is: 'the stickier it is, the worse it is."

Also called third molars, wisdom teeth usually make their first appearance in young adults between the ages of 15 to 25. Because most mouths are too small for these four additional molars, an extraction procedure, sometimes immediately after they surface, is often necessary.
