Un-wisdom Tooth

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

The stoopidest tooth in a human dentition is the wisdom tooth.

I wonder how it got its name.

It’s at the most back part of the human arches. It’s terribly tough to clean, therefore easiest to caries. It’s late in eruption like a slow bloomer. It’s often not functional, ill-positioned ie… buccally erupted or ta-dah, impacted. It’s hard to achieve moisture control and hard to restore !!

Dat’s why I friggin hate restoring a wisdom tooth.

Love extracting it. Even by means of bloody surgery!
