Were you aware that the history of wisdom teeth can be traced back for thousands of years? In fact, early humans would not have been able to survive without them. What were some of their ancient purposes?
– This type of tooth was used to grind up many different hard materials.
– Due to their size, wisdom teeth were essential when biting meat and roots.
– They are no longer necessary thanks to our modern diet.
Because the modern jaw is typically smaller, wisdom teeth often cause crowded teeth and other dental problems, and must be extracted.
“A visit to your dentist can tell you whether or not your wisdom teeth will need to be removed.”
