While some adults are able to keep their wisdom teeth in their mouth without any problems, more often than not, this is not going to be the case. Since wisdom teeth come in much later in life, your mouth shape and your other teeth have already conformed to a certain shape, thus causing a variety of potential problems for your wisdom teeth. If you are on the fence about whether or not you should have your wisdom teeth removed, there are certain signs that you can look and/or feel for, and this article will discuss 2 of them in more detail. 

They Only Come In Partially

One problem that you might run into with your wisdom teeth is that they only come into your mouth partially. When the tooth comes in partially, it is not only going to be painful because it is still trying to push its way in, but it's also a risk because the space where the tooth is coming in on the gums has a higher risk for getting stuff caught around the incoming tooth. This can be increased if there's still a flap of skin over the top of your wisdom tooth. This in turn can cause cavities to form and a variety of other issues that can easily be avoided if you have your wisdom teeth removed as soon as you feel that they are trying to come in. 

There Isn't Room For Them In Your Mouth 

While sometimes the wisdom teeth don't come in all of the way because they are stubborn or otherwise not quite ready, another reason may be that they are impacted. A tooth that is impacted is likely never going to break through. This is due to the fact that no matter where the wisdom teeth try to come in, they are either going to run into teeth that are already in place, or they are going to be hitting your actual jaw bone that has already formed into its normal shape. If this is the case, you are going to need to have each and every one of your wisdom teeth cut from beneath your gums and removed from your mouth so that they no longer cause you unnecessary pain and pressure in your mouth as they are continually trying to push through with no success.
