Wisdom teeth are your third molars that are the last teeth to emerge in the mouth. Most
people will see their wisdom teeth appear in their late teens, but some not until their 20s. For others still, these third molars never fully erupt through the gumline, leading to what’s called impacted wisdom teeth.
