And while a group of Japanese researchers aren’t claiming that we should be trying to be the most shark-like possible, they’d like for us to maybe, someday, share that same ability.
Impacted teeth can get infected which is painful. Being impacted does not always cause problems. Wisdom teeth that come through normally can also cause problems and get infected and need removal.
Most people need them out, but not all. Too early to tell here.
My last x-ray confirmed all my wisdom teeth are in fine, but I have another set behind then which might cause issues by putting pressure and causing misalignment. I'm approaching 40 so it's never been an issue, until I have a cold and the sinus pressure make my face feel like it's going to explode!
It's seriously so uncomfortable, like I chewed up some jawbreakers and then got punched in the face a few times on both sides. I almost wouldn't mind having the surgery to remove all 8+ wisdom teeth.

Oh, it’s Popular Mechanics, so I can safely ignore the article and assume it’s nonsense.

Someone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed.

I had 5 wisdom teeth, Which is not all that uncommon. What's wierder is tumours will often have hair and teeth.

often may be a slight exaggeration, it mainly happens with teratomas which are kind of rare.

Oh, so you have my 4th?
hector@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 160d
You only had 3?

Yeah. It's a fun little mystery to reveal at cleanings, especially when there's an x-ray.

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Thes ones are still growing. The second molars roots are still growing too, so this is likely a young teen.

I'm 62 and still have mine.

I speak with experience when I say that teeth that are impacted, still growing or not, cause a tremendous amount of pain and dental hygiene issues.

I really hope the third set is genitalia teeth.
