Teeth extraction
Wisdom teeth are the most complicated and the most studied teeth in the oral cavity. Not for nothing they say: the less wisdom teeth you have, the less problems you suffer. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the routine interventions in modern dentistry.
Eighth teeth or third molars are also called wisdom teeth as their eruption occurs when a person already is a grown-up. Wisdom teeth erupt at the age of 18 to 25. Problems with wisdom teeth patients begin to suffer due to lack of space in their oral cavities. With the change of the modern food, which is now softer, chunkier, easier to chew, jaws gradually became narrower during the evolutionary process. However, the number of dental nucleus has remained unchanged. The progression of the evolution envisages that the eighth teeth will once completely disappear from the human mouth.
