Did you know some people don’t get all four wisdom teeth? Some get only two or three, and some (very lucky) individuals get none at all! Interestingly, scientists have a theory that this is simply a modern example of evolution. Humans aren’t eating the same tough, fibrous diet that they were thousands of years ago and we don’t need as many teeth to adequately chew our food.
But, since most people do still get four wisdom teeth, there’s a good chance that you’re one of them! If so, you probably have some questions, like what wisdom teeth are and when a dentist in Deer Park would recommend extracting them. In this blog, you’ll learn the answer to both of those questions and more!
