Wisdom teeth can cause problems when they become impacted or don’t have enough room to erupt properly. Common warning signs include pain at the back of the mouth, swollen or bleeding gums, jaw stiffness, bad breath, difficulty opening the mouth, and recurring infections. Left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth may damage nearby teeth, cause cavities, or lead to cysts and gum disease. Early dental evaluation can help identify problems before they become more serious and determine whether removal is the best option.
