Many of us have already undergone a wisdom teeth extraction or at least they have heard of this current surgery. According to dentists, these teeth are not really necessary and useful and are sometimes times cumbersome. But have you ever wondered what the wisdom teeth are for?
According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, more than 67% of wisdom teeth removal surgeries proved useless. Each year in France, one-third of the wisdom teeth would be abused in a country where wisdom teeth
Removal accounts for a quarter of the expenses for extraction and oral surgery.
What are the teeth of wisdom used for?
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, usually grow in late teens or early twenties. There are four of them, two at the top and two at the bottom (some people may have less or even more).
There are three types of wisdom teeth:
Teeth included: due to lack of space, the tooth is locked in the jaw but it can not go out. This situation can cause severe pain and problems like gingivitis or swelling of the jaw.

Semi-enclosed teeth: in this situation, the tooth is partially blocked, with a visible part and another enclosed under the gum.
Erupted teeth: this is the correct and natural eruption of a wisdom tooth.
According to the concept of dental energy, wisdom teeth have a direct connection with the heart and small intestine. They are particularly related to heart disease, congenital defect and coronary artery disease. But what we should not forget is the relationship of our dental health with diet.
Dr. Weston had conducted extensive research on the relationship between health and oral diseases. The result is surprising; When we provide the necessary nutrients for the jaw bone during its development, our 32 teeth will all have the proper place in the mouth without creating a clutter. It has also been proved that the consumption of sugar and white flour in a native population with perfect and healthy teeth has caused rapid deterioration of the teeth.
Wisdom tooth extraction can be dangerous
About 46% of the motor and sensory nerves in our nervous system are linked to our mouth and face. Extracting a tooth can create disturbances throughout the system and joints.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the meridian acupuncture system shows the vital relationship between teeth and joints, segments of the spine, vertebrae, organs and endocrine glands. This widespread surgery may seem simple, but it involves serious risks that can lead to sudden death.
After removing a wisdom tooth, between 57,000 and 175,000 people reported feeling tingling or permanent numbness caused by nerve damage.
However, there are some cases where extraction may be mandatory. Incorrect and anarchic thrust may result in displacement or overlap of other teeth. Caries or inflammation of the tissues may also require surgery.
