Many problems san be caused by wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth can cause pain while they are erupting. Many times there is not enough room for them so they don't come in all of the way so they are impossible to clean well and decay easily. They can make it harder to clean the toooth next to them and this molar can become decayed. They can push on your other teeth and may cause them to shift and cause some crowding. Discuss this withyour dentist.
