These are the teeth which erupts in to the mouth any time after 18 years of age. If adequate space is available to the tooth to erupt, doesn’t create any problems. If the space is not adequate, tooth can not erupt completely into the oral cavity. Now the tooth starts giving problems, because it exerts pressure on the next tooth and to the bone. That area becomes like a dust bin to collect the food particles and starts irritating the gums in that area and also helps for the initiation of the infection. Because of all these, the patients will experience varying degrees of pain.

It is always advisable to get the tooth removed. But removal of the tooth is not easy as other teeth of the mouth. X-ray is a must to know the position of the tooth and it’s roots. Removal of tooth takes a longer time than the removal of other normal tooth. The time taken for the removal of the tooth depends upon the position of the tooth.
