Yes, wisdom teeth, which erupt years after your adult teeth, can cause a lot of trouble beneath the surface. For example, they can crowd or invade the roots of other teeth even before they try to erupt through the gum.
The most common wisdom tooth issues include:
- Partial Eruption or Impaction: Sometimes, there is not enough room on the arch for wisdom tooth eruption, so they partially erupt, which puts you at risk for infection.
- Infections: Tooth and gum infections are common when impacted wisdom teeth show up.
- Pressure on Other Teeth: You can experience jaw pain, tooth pain, and general oral pressure from wisdom teeth trying to erupt without enough space to do so.
