The pain of a wisdom tooth is different

We might think that we stopped growing, not all of our teeth have. If you're lucky enough, they might never grow in. If you're like some, you might have went through the anesthesia method, and have had your wisdom teeth removed that way. You might also be the ones who will wait until they come through and then remove them if they seem necessarily to remove them (like me, who's experiencing what could no more than wisdom teeth pushing through the gums to come out).

But why do humans get wisdom teeth in the first place if we end up removing them?

According to ScienceLine.org, wisdom teeth were used to eat "rough foods, like leaves, roots, nuts and meats," for our ancestors. Due to evolution, wisdom teeth became useless, and due to evolution our jaws became smaller. In other words, we changed our diets from being a "hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a soft modern diet," according to LiveScience.com Therefore, wisdom teeth don't have a place to grow and that's why it could led to teeth issues like pains on the other teeth near the wisdom tooth.

The reason these molars (the third set of molars) are called wisdom teeth, is because they begin growing around the age of 10, but aren't visibly seen until the age of 17 known as the age that we are wiser.

The damage that wisdom teeth cause is the reason that some people remove their wisdom teeth, like jaw damage, sinus issues, inflamed gums, cavities, and mess with the alignment of your teeth (according to WebMD.com)

So the next time you feel a pressuring pain in your mouth, maybe it's your wisdom teeth growing in?
