The majority of people have four third molars — or wisdom teeth — which usually appear between the ages of 13 and 24. Removal of wisdom teeth is recommended when the jaw becomes crowded and other teeth are affected, the wisdom tooth is impacted or misaligned, or another serious issue develops, such as an infection or a cyst.
