The last set of teeth to erupt in the mouth are commonly known as Wisdom teeth, which usually grow out around the age of 18. These final molars find it quite difficult to get a place in the mouth, as other teeth have already made a space for themselves. This can result in problems in the form of pain, feeling discomfort when eating, or infections.
