What is a Wisdom Tooth?
Wisdom tooth is also called as third molar and is the tooth the erupts at later stage after all other teeth have erupted in the jaw. Wisdom teeth generally erupts at late teen age to early twenties. There are four wisdom teeth that can generally erupt but it's possible to have less or no wisdom tooth at all in someone.

Why a Wisdom Tooth needs to be Removed?
There can be several reasons that a wisdom tooth needs to be removed so that patient will not have further pain and complication that may arise if not removed.
If third molars failed to erupt properly and are angulated in mesial, distal, buccal, lingual direction then they can pose several problems, such as causing decay on the adjacent tooth, difficulty in mouth opening, and pericoronitis in some cases which can cause severe pain and infection that can spread. Therefore, in such cases it's better to remove them.
Third molar gets impacted or stuck inside the jaw bone as it doesn't have sufficient space to get erupted properly. When the tooth is partially erupted, it may cause inflammation of gums.
Maintaining oral hygiene in third molar isn't easy when tooth is not properly aligned, and this will lead to constant food debris around it, which would finally lead to dental caries/tooth decay and it may needs to be removed to avoid further pain and complication that may occur.
