Fed up to the back teeth?

Although there is something like a 'cute butt', the front always seems to be more important and attractive than the back. Sometimes the back even is useless...

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth at the back on each side of the jaws. They ususally come through when a person is between 16 and 21. Because the other teeth were quicker, there often is not enough room left and the wisdom teeth get trapped. This can cause a lot of pain and lead to disease.

Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include:
-Swollen gums
-Un unpleasant feeling or pain when you open your mouth
-Bad breath
-Bad taste in your mouth
-Pain when chewing or biting
The pain can last for days and then disappear, but only to return.

Have these useless teeth always caused so many problems? The answer is no. In general, our ancestors lost their teeth at a very young age (bad oral care) and that their jaws were wider. Back then there usually was more than enough room for the little buggers.

Do not worry, having them removed will not make you less intelligent...
