Our human jaws can comfortably hold 28 teeth, not 32, when accounting for wisdom teeth. These 28 slots are filled before your wisdom teeth appear. So the addition of wisdom teeth growing is difficult when all 28 slots are filled up. With not enough space, an extraction is necessary to avoid complications such as infection or impaction.
