Why do some people have wisdom teeth and some don't?!


Question: It's evolution! Eventually most people will only be born with a 1st and 2nd molars not 3rd.

As far as eruption goes....some people have more space for their 3rd molars, others do not. Some third molars grow in impacted, meaning they are turned slightly sideways and can cause damage to the 2nd molar. Unusual things can happen with 3rd molars, that's for sure!

everyone gets wisdom teeth my only bet is that some people take them out and some dont!

we DO all have wisdom teeth (mine is infected right now and im dying) but not all of them erupt through the gum some just sit there happily underground.

They come from when we were monkey and ate meat that we caught our selves to grind the bones of our prey. But as we do not do that anymore we have evolved so that our wisdom teeth arnot needed anymore.

because some of them get pulled out at the dentist or they just fall out!!!

Please don't listen to some of the people above me.

Not everyone gets Wisdom teeth.

It all depends on family genes.

Just like your hair or eye color.
