I had a tooth erupt last week, the final week of May, so...no.
They have about 9 baby teeth and 11 grown-up teeth.
Yes. If your mouth is big enough, like mine is, there is no need to remove the wisdom teeth. I know many people who have all of their wisdom teeth, or only had 1 or 2 removed.
Most people grow 32 teeth, including 4 wisdom teeth. However, most times wisdom teeth are impacted and never erupt. It is also possibly to be congenitally missing teeth, as in the tooth bud never formed.
No. Wisdom teeth should only be taken out if they are a problem.
The current world record for the highest number of wisdom teeth extracted from a single person is 232 teeth, belonging to Ashik Gavai from India in 2014.
Only if the wisdom teeth are causing an infection to drain into the sinus, which is extremely rare.
Wisdom teeth are the 3rd molars, or the last teeth in the back. Sometimes we can't feel them because they haven't come out, and they can only be detected on an x-ray. Usually a person has four wisdom teeth.
They may be fused to the bone, which is called ankylosis. You will need to see an oral surgeon if your primary teeth do not fall out and you have permanent teeth coming in behind them and they are crooked.
Not necessarily. Some hypodontic individuals do not have a full set of 32 permanent tooth buds. But the average human will have 4 third molars (wisdom teeth), even though they may not develop or erupt. About 3 out of 4 people have wisdom teeth grow in. Some people have small mouths, so there is no room, and this can damage the gums unless they are removed. The removal of wisdom teeth is often complex due to their position and a tendency to form curved roots.
Before I had braces on, it was suggested that I have my wisdom teeth removed, so I did. It could however depend on the individuals teeth, mine were quite crowded or as they call it impacted. You'll be glad you got braces, good for you. Very often, if wisdom teeth have no room to erupt, it is recommended to extract them following an orthodontic treatment.
It's not necessary for you to get your wisdom teeth removed if they are correctly positioned in your mouth and do not cause any pain or dental problems. Visit Wisdomteethsydney.com.au
If one has an impacted wisdom tooth, it means that their tooth has not had enough room to grow and are stuck under the gum or have only partially erupted. One can visit their dentist to find out if they have an impacted wisdom tooth.
