The eruption of wisdom teeth represents a small growth spurt in adulthood. The eruption of each molar represents a growth/developmental spurt. The first molar, second molar, and third molar (wisdom teeth) represent growth/developmental peaks around the age of 6, 12, and 20s, respectively. Of course there is a difference between the size of this peak. In ancient times, food was not as fine as it is now, and eating was very costly to the teeth, which have a tiny degree of movement. And as the fineness of food increases, chewing becomes easier and easier, the first thing that degenerates is the chewing muscles, which atrophy; secondly, the jawbone, which develops narrow because there is not enough functional stimulation to accommodate so many original teeth; and finally, the teeth, the number and size of which have remained unchanged until now. That is why there is a smaller and smaller mouth and crowded teeth, which is one of the bases for orthodontic tooth extraction and treatment. Many people ask what is the significance of this small growth/developmental spurt, will they grow taller, will they grow breasts. In fact, there is a problem with this term, for the first two molar eruption time is called the developmental peak is correct, but the third molar eruption of this should be called a growth spurt, not a developmental spurt. After reviewing some information, we found that for ancient people, the arch length of many adolescents has been reduced by 10mm due to attrition, so the eruption of wisdom teeth (about 11mm) plays an important role in the function of chewing. This adolescent refers to the stage of about 16-18 years old, and the small growth spurt refers to such a stage. Nowadays, due to the lack of wear and tear, there is not enough space for the growth of wisdom teeth, which leads to the postponement of the eruption time. Once again, the mini-peak between 16 and 18 years old has very little effect on height, but it does have an effect on jaw and face growth. As the jaw and nose grow, the lateral appearance of the person will continue to change, and these are the facial aesthetic issues that we orthodontists are concerned about. The human permanent dentition has 32 teeth, of which the last four third molars, located at the very back of the upper and lower left and right dental arches, are also known as wisdom teeth because they erupt after the age of sixteen to twenty-four years of intelligent growth. Some places call it “understand the teeth”, sounds interesting, “wisdom teeth are so wise, oh, long wisdom teeth mom no longer have to worry about my study. If you only know wisdom teeth by name, you probably don’t have wisdom teeth yet, or if you have wisdom teeth and don’t notice anything wrong. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. The wisdom teeth are a potential scourge.

Additional knowledge: wisdom teeth obstruction: “In the process of human genealogy and evolution, the human jawbone, because it no longer needs strong chewing force and gradually become smaller, in this smaller jawbone to accommodate the same number and size of teeth as in the past, there is often a lack of space between the teeth, so crowding, grow down, grow curved, or grow out of the situation will occur, this is the obstruction. According to statistics, the incidence of wisdom teeth obstruction in Chinese people is 64.6% for women and 61% for men.” Doctors suggest that wisdom tooth pain is usually first discovered as a symptom of inflammation and pain around the crown, if the situation is not too serious, it is best not to remove the wisdom tooth. If the situation is not too serious, it is best not to remove the wisdom tooth because each tooth has its own function, so randomly removing it not only makes it lose its original function, resulting in uneven use of other teeth, but also may cause damage to the nerve or cause bleeding or inflammation. However, when the swelling and inflammation are serious, you should follow the instructions of your dentist, take your medication on time, brush your teeth with pain, and make sure to clean them to facilitate recovery. At the same time, you should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions after tooth extraction.
