How to distinguish between wisdom teeth and wisdom teeth?

Forbidden teeth and wisdom teeth both belong to the group of molars, which are adjacent teeth with wide chewing surfaces, many grooves and enlarged crowns. Therefore, many people often confuse wisdom teeth with wisdom teeth.

The molars belong to the molar group, which is the number 6 and number 7 in the arch from the outside and inside, also known as the first and second molars. Each adult will have 8 molars divided equally by two. jaw, each jaw has 4 molars. These teeth have a wide chewing surface, many lobes and pits, and enlarged crowns.
Forbidden teeth play an important role in chewing and crushing food. Teeth usually erupt between the ages of 6-8 and never change, if for some reason these teeth are lost, they will never grow back. Therefore, the molars always need to be preserved as much as possible.

Wisdom teeth are the 8th teeth in the arch from the outside to the inside, also known as the 3rd molars, located behind the 7th teeth and close to the jaw wall. Each person has 4 wisdom teeth. Each jaw has 2 teeth. For people, wisdom teeth do not emerge from the gums like other teeth but grow underground in the jawbone. Therefore, many people mistakenly think that they do not have wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt in the teeth and only develop in adulthood. The common age of wisdom teeth eruption is between 17-25 years old.
However, there are also a few cases where wisdom teeth appear later than this age. Because wisdom teeth grow later than other teeth, so they often grow misaligned and pinched, causing pain and discomfort for the patient, which must be removed to avoid causing adverse health effects.

In contrast to wisdom teeth, because they are located at the end of the jaw, close to the wall and they do not perform any prominent functions, the loss of wisdom teeth has almost no effect on other teeth. The phenomenon of jaw bone loss in this position takes place very little because the muscle tissue inside the jaw will fill that gap. Therefore, a dental implant is not necessary.
