Expert's Opinion

  • Dr. Ankita Gada Dental Director of Sabka dentist says “Wisdom teeth are the last 4 teeth (third molars), two in each jaw. They erupt in the mouth between the ages of 18 and 25.”
  • Dr. Priyanka Shingore Dental Director of Sabka dentist says “Sometimes, they may not have enough room to erupt or develop normally. This will cause the third molar/ wisdom tooth to be impacted. Impacted molars may result in pain, swelling, bad breath and damage to other teeth and other dental problems. Thus, impacted wisdom will need extraction.”
