Wisdom Teeth

Swelling of the gums, bad breath, jaw pain, and gum bleed are some of the signs that can indicate you need to have your wisdom teeth removed. They’re said to be “wise” because they usually start to be a problem later in an individual’s development (late teens or early 20s). However, wisdom teeth start to grow at around the age of 7.

Wisdom teeth are super common, but about 35% of the world’s population isn’t impacted by them at all. Additionally, about 25% of all humans have not two but three wisdom teeth.
