ok peeps..i'm offically freaked out...juz read up some stuff on the net relating to molar teeth aka "wisdom teeth"....

Yeah....kinda intersting...wisdom tooth also equals to molar tooth..haha...and we hv 3 molars in total....that is 3 for each quarter of the mouth...the 1st, 2nd and 3rd....the 3rd is the wisdom tooth...and know y it's called "Wisdom Tooth"?

You dunno rite??? wahhaha i know leh....try guessign lah....dun go and check the net for ans

So still dun know y? okok i shall tell you.....
It's callled the Wisdom tooth coz this 3rd molar tooth actually grows out in the later part of our lives....it usually starts to grow out b/t the ages of 18 to 25..that's the average age lah.....(if it grew out earlier or later than the stated time than u are ABNORMAL lor..wAHhaha kidding)

As this period of our lives are called the "Age of Wisdom" thus the 3rd molar is nicknamed "Wisdom tooth"...oooohHHHHhhhh~~~~ that's y it's called "wisdom Tooth" wahhaha...yeah...that's sth that i learnt today...hEe hEe...

Oh ya...y am i freaked out? coz i read the implications of this "hinderence".
If it does not grow out in alignment w the rest of ur teeth than
oh oooooo...u hv a problemo Pal....

The ProbLem: Impacted teeth
this is when the teeth grows out partially or when it does not grow out but is hindden under the gums.

both these situations causes problems like: infection, pain, discomfort, damage to 2nd molar and even cyst....

yeah..scary rite??? that's y i'm planning to see teh dentist soon...but i dun wanna undergo surgery!!! wahhahaha...hate gg under the knife..wAHhaha even if it's juz local anaestatic....but it IS irritating my gum and i'm afraisd it will grind against my adj. tooth....

Well..hope u had an educational time at my blog....

tIl than...cHEErx!!
