What are wisdom tooth and impacted tooth?

Core tip:What are wisdom tooth and impacted tooth? Wisdom teeth, which are also called the third molars, are the latest teeth growing in the mouth.

    What is wisdom tooth? 

    Wisdom teeth, which are also called the third molars, are the latest teeth growing in the mouth.The reason why it is commonly known as “wisdom teeth” is that its germination time is about 17-25 years old which is the time when  a human being begins to grow "wisdom" . 

    Anthropologists found that the jawbone of prehistoric humans is much larger than modern people because the food they eat are coarse. Coarse food cause serious loss for the teeth. A large jawbone and the space resulting from the missing teeth create enough room for the four wisdom teeth to grow out smoothly at the young age. But with the development of economy and society, people gradually fine-tuning their diets, resulting in a small jawbone. The jawbone is so small that there is no room for wisdom teeth to grow, leading to impacted wisdom tooth (stop growing), and causing other problems.

    What is impacted tooth?

    Impacted tooth is a tooth that does not break through the gum(not necessarily the wisdom teeth). If a tooth fails to come in or only partially, it is considered to be impacted. This most commonly happens with the wisdom teeth, which are the last teeth to emerge. One of the most important reason why an impacted tooth remains stuck in gum or bone is that there is no room for the teeth to emerge. The jaw may be too small to fit the wisdom teeth.

    It is also reported that even though the wisdom teeth grow smoothly without impaction, it may also evolve some problems because it is difficult to clean.
