What does it mean if when my wisdom teeth emerge they are breaking off into little pieces?

No realy clear but: It sounds as if the wisdom teeth are badly decayed and "crumbling".

Wisdom teeth: If your teeth are breaking off in the mouth you either traumatized it or there is decay allowing for easy fracture. It's important that you go to the dentist for x-rays and proper diagnosis.
