The cause of wisdom teeth grows in adulthood
Wisdom teeth or normal third molars grow in the age range of 17-24 years. If this tooth grows inclined, symptoms of swelling, pain, or even fever appear. Especially if this tooth stabs the gum, it will feel very painful. Wisdom teeth will grow in four parts of the jaw, the right upper back, left upper back, lower right rear, and lower left rear.
