How can you tell if they are your wisdom teeth?
There are a few ways to tell if a tooth is a wisdom tooth.
* Location: Wisdom teeth are the third molars, located at the back of the mouth on the upper and lower jaws.
* Size and shape: Wisdom teeth are typically smaller and more rounded than other molars. They may also have a more pointed or "cusped" appearance.
* Eruption age: Wisdom teeth usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25, although they can sometimes erupt earlier or later.
* Pain: Wisdom teeth can cause pain when they erupt, as they can crowd the other teeth or put pressure on the nerves in the jaw.
If you are unsure whether a tooth is a wisdom tooth, you should see your dentist. They can confirm the diagnosis and recommend the best course of treatment.
