ALL ABOUT WISDOM TEETH Can You Handle the Tooth ? We've all heard stories about the late-blooming molars and the pain they cause. But what do we really know about them? Here are some important facts about wisdom teeth that you probably didn't know until now. EARLY MAN MODERN MAN Our early ancestors mostly ate tough food such as roots and raw meat. They had extra molars and a larger jaw to help them chew and break down the food. Human diet shifted. Cooking allowed us to chew less and develop smaller jaws-often with room for extra molars to form but not enough room to erupt.

Not all wisdom teeth need to be 01 04 removed. Some can grow in normally and with enough space to thrive. Not all tooth extractions lead to painful healing. With proper care, most people recover in just a few days. Neighbouring teeth can be damaged as the wisdom teeth continue to push through the gums. 02 05 Some people are born without these extra teeth. Researchers debate whether this is culture or evolution. Bones get tougher as we age. Tooth removal early in life is more likely to have good healing response. 03 06 Wisdom teeth that have not grown into the mouth can form cysts around them. This can cause mineral loss of bone in the jaw and may lead to other teeth being damaged.
