There are thirty-two teeth in the mouth including four wisdom teeth. Some people don’t have wisdom teeth at all and others may not have all four wisdom teeth. According to the Dental Research Journal, five to thirty-seven percent of people are missing one or more of their wisdom teeth. You will know if you have wisdom teeth by getting a dental X-ray at Rockwest Dental Clinic.

It is possible to have two sets of wisdom teeth, also known as supernumerary teeth or fourth molars, but it is extremely rare.

Wisdom teeth usually come in when you’re between the age of seventeen and twenty-five. However, on rare occasions wisdom teeth can come in earlier or later in life.

You can typically eat solid foods five days after your wisdom teeth surgery. We recommend avoiding very crunchy and acidic foods like granola or citrus for up to a week following the procedure. For the first five days following your wisdom teeth removal, you should eat soft foods like:

• Room- temperature soup or broth
• Smoothies or juice
• Yogurt
• Pudding
• Mashed or pureed vegetables and fruits
• Jell-O
• Oatmeal
• Pasta

Anthropologists believe that humans have wisdom teeth because these extra molars made it easier to chew roots ,nuts, leaves and tough meat millions of years ago. Now that we know how to soften our foods through cooking and have utensils to break food down, we no longer need our wisdom teeth.

Healing time will vary from patient to patient. In some cases, it can take up to four weeks to fully recover. In other cases, patients can be back to normal in five days. The average recovery time is about two weeks. How many wisdom teeth you’ve had removed and the teeth’s position in your mouth can affect the recovery period.

Wisdom teeth surgery takes about forty-five minutes.

The dentists will make an incision into your gum, remove any bone that blocks access to the wisdom tooth’s root, break the tooth into different pieces to remove it, clean the tooth’s socket, stitch the wound and place gauze over the site to form a blood clot and control bleeding.
