Question: Why do wisdom teeth come out so late!? and wat are they good for!?
Answers:
FYI,
the true reason why they are called wisdom teeth' is because they normally erupt between 17-24 years of age and folks say that by then you should have some wisdom!.
They were useful when our ancestors ate a much rougher diet needing much chewing!.
Today, our diets have changed dramatically so there's no 'need' for them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A newspaper report recently claimed that wisdom teeth are an evolutionary hangover!. The size of the human mouth has reduced from the time of the apes (when these extra teeth could fit into a larger mouth)!. But since then, they take their time to grow and require surgery to extract them!. They normally emerge around the time that humans mature (attain wisom) hence they are called wisdom teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I remember hearing a theory that they were back up teeth before we were civilized (not that we are but more then we were ten thousand years ago or so)!. Teeth would fall out and we would need new ones!. Then average life expectancy was 30-40 years old so getting them at our mid-life helped us to continue eating and not to starve to death!. This may not be true but i think my Oral Surgeon told me this right before i was to count backwards from a hundred!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Every teeth develops at a particular time and when 2/3 of the root is formed then that tooth erupts in the oral cavity!. Wisdom tooth, which is a third molar matures late!. The average eruption time is 18-25 years!. That is why they come late!. These are called wisdom teeth because when they erupt, it is said that the child has become wise!. Initially when our diet was rough and it had to be chewed, then more molars were needed to masticate the foot!. Even the size of the jaw used to be big but now a days as our diet has changed so the jaw size has also decreased along with that the wisdom teeth are no longer of any use!.

they were used in our prehistoric gorilla phase!. they were used so we could chew hard bamboo, rocks, weird stuff!. we have wisdom teeth for the same reason we have a tail bone and we dont use or need either!. im not sure why they grow in so late, thats how how it works!. all you need to know if that you most likely should get them removed because they are usless and crowd your other teeth!. hope i helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
