Human children have a set of baby teeth which start to fall out by the time they are about six. They are replaced by adult teeth which last them almost till the end of their life . Does this apply to other mammals, reptiles (like crocs), fish etc.
Do the lower animals have baby teeth which are replaced by adult teeth as they mature?
Crocs have somewhere around 10 sets of teeth that come up as needed when another tooth falls out or gets knocked out
Dogs loose their baby teeth around 4 months old and have one set of adult teeth
Shark's teeth come in one row at a time and that new row is on the outer part of the jaw with each older row going in making up many rows of teeth. the number of rows depends on age of shark and breed.
Whales don't have teeth, but have plates. Think of it more like a callous. So that's easy to replace as needed because the tissue just has to harden.
Reply:I watch a lot of discovery channel! Someone else mentioned that elephants die after losing their last set of teeth is correct. Isn't that crazy? Report It
Reply:mammals do. /some whales do have teeth....ie. sperm, killer, beluga baleen whales have strainer things of a hornlike material.
Reply:yes, it applies to mammals. elephants, for example, have six sets of teeth (compared to our two). after they have worn out all six, elephants actually starve to death.
am not so sure about fish. sharks have a neverending supply of teeth...they lose their teeth quite frequently.

Why do gorillas have canine teeth?
I've been discouraging a friend of mine that want to change to raw diet only, my strongest point was that we ,humans, were born with canine teeth because consuming meats is a biological need to us and it is 100% natural,
he went out to ask at some websites and came with the answer that gorillas are more close to us in their DNA build, than any other animals, they have canines and they are herbivores... i tried to convince him by weakly arguing that they use it for other things like protection or crushing hard fruits,
he is still unconvinced and he 100% loyal to his diet, he refuses to eat cooked vegetables/ beans / rice / bread, he eats everything raw, he even refuses to eat vegetarian meats, i see him growing weaker and his overall health declining every day..
please help!
thanks for stopping by,
Why do gorillas have canine teeth?
It's true that Gorillas are herbivores and their DNA is 97%–98% identical to that of a human. However, Chimpanzees are closer to humans and are omnivores like us, so the argument above that we should be vegetarians like gorillas is inaccurate and misguided.
Humans evolved as omnivores, and our teeth reflect this history. We have relatively pathetic canine teeth compared to cats and even other primates such as baboons.
Back to Gorillas, their canines are used as weapons (against each other or predators) and also for crushing hard plant material like bamboo.
Good luck with your friend, archaeological and anthropological evidence, as well as medical research, suggest that cooking is obligatory for humans.
Reply:The name given to those teeth is confusing, because it wrongly implies "carnivore."
But the gorilla eats mostly fruit, like bananas, and other vegetation.
So the two pointy teeth come in handy for ripping the skin off fruit, etc. to get at the inner part of it.
Gorillas eat no dead animal parts. And neither should we. For a human's teeth and digestive tract are virtually identical to that of a gorilla's.
The muscle mass and strength of a gorilla also proves false the meat-industry propaganda that we need to eat meat to obtain enough protein to build muscle.
Reply:Gorillas are descended from omnivores that ate both meat and vegetables. Natural selection has not eliminated their canines since they entered their fruitivore niche just recently ( geologically speaking ) We are not obligate carnivores, so can subsist on vegetable matter. I have little to suggest about your friend. His diet seems more ideological than physiological

Is it normal for my rabbit's teeth to break off?
Last week I noticed my rabbit' teeth were really long. They overlapped by a lot and were kinda crooked. I didn't know if that was okay since I've never really seen what a rabbit's teeth are supposed to look like. My mom told me not to think anything of it because he was still eating the same and didn't seem in any pain of uncomfortableness. Today I was cleaning his cage and found what looked almost like a plastic fang from my clip so took it out thinking he would accidently swallow it. But when I touched it I realized that it was his tooth. I checked his mouth and sure enough the teeth were much shorter. I'm kinda of freaked out! I don't know if its normal like the way humans loose and grow back teeth when their young. I keep trying to look at his mouth but he won't let me. I even see one behind the tooth that looks like a little sliver. I've heard that rabbits need to chew on wood and things like that to keep their teeth short, whick i've given him but he never seems to get it.
Is it normal for my rabbit's teeth to break off?
It is not normal for the rabbit's teeth to 'break off', exactly, but he needs to have chew sticks and wood toys to chew on, in order to keep them short. Rabbits' teeth grow constantly, and if they don't have some way to file them down, like the wood toys, they will grow too long. Part of the problem may be that the rabbit's teeth were already too long when you gave him the wood, so that he couldn't chew on it. You may need to take him to the vet to get his teeth filed down. Another option is to try different types of chew toys, to see what he will chew on. He may simply not like the wood you gave him before. You can get simple chew sticks and wood toys at most pet stores.
Reply:um pa tao
Reply:Your rabbit probably has dental disease called Malocclusion in which his teeth grow crooked, and therefore he can't wear his teeth down properly like every rabbit has to. Their teeth grow about ½ to ¾ inch per month, and all that chewing you hear all night keeps their teeth to a healthly length.

Why do humans lose their first set of teeth as children, instead of adolesents or young adults?
What evolutionary reasons do we have for this? Would it not make more sense for teeth to be replaced at an older age, after they have been worn down by years of use?
Why do humans lose their first set of teeth as children, instead of adolesents or young adults?
Our teeth have not caught up with our life expectancy. With humans living on average about 80 years, our teeth were not suppose to last that long. Fortunately our understanding of dentistry has made up for our resilience. In our primitive days, they lasted plenty long enough and there also was use for our wisdom teeth since we had larger jaws.
As far as why we have to lose our first set, think how small your jaw is when you are a child. Your jaw is not large enough for your adult teeth. It would be nice if we could find the gene that controls teeth generation and turn it back on when needed.
Reply:G'day Wintersun,
Thank you for your question.
Deciduous teeth also known as baby teeth are considered to be a marker for permanent teeth and are useful for when the jaw hasn't fully grown. The adult teeth start coming through at six but the final teeth aren't in place until the late teens or early twenties. Also the muscles of the jaw and the formation of the jaw bones depend on the primary teeth in order to maintain the proper space for permanent teeth. The roots of deciduous teeth provide an opening for the permanent teeth to erupt through. These teeth are also needed in the development of a child’s ability to speak and chew their food correctly.

Brushing teeth?
My 9 year old small dog just had a teeth-cleaning last week. They extracted 5 of his teeth at the same time which cost me $250. His bad breath is gone now too and hopefully he wont be so cranky anymore. How can I keep his remaining teeth clean? I dont feed him human food or snacks. My other dog same age has clean teeth. How can I brush his teeth? He wont like that at all!
Brushing teeth?
Get a good quality rope toy.( at the pet shop, not the dollar store) ..the ones that appear to be twisted string tied in a knot. Soak it in unsalted broth. Dry it in a very slow oven. he will try to chew all the falovor out of that, and it works as dental floss to keep his teeth clean, and his breath fresh.
If he grows tired, (couple of months)as the flavor is gone, just wash by hand, and re-soak.
Reply:get some dog food flaored toothpaste and a brush which goes on your finger (like a thimble) - make it fun and dogs love it!
Reply:hmm? I had a little toy poodle for years (sadly died of old age last year) but she loved having her teeth brushed.. I think its cause she liked the toothpaste.. I found some paste at the health store that wouldnt bother her if she swallowed it.. tasted like fruit.. It was meant for little kids. but I used to brush her teeth once a week when I bathed her. She loved it, of course between the lapping and swallowing of the paste, I managed to clean her teeth..
Reply:at least once a month
Reply:Pet stores sell a ton of stuff for this. Funny thing is that you don't really have to "brush" like we do. You can use things that slip over your finger with soft rubber nubs that basically does the same thing. Finding the right pet toothpaste will help too. Try to find a couple of different flavors and mix it up. That way, the dog will look forward to something new. You should only have to brush every month or so. If dog's had such bad teeth, there would be separate dog dentists for that. It's because they don't eat sugar like we do.
Also, there are a bunch of dog treats that say they help keep the teeth clean.
Reply:You dont have to brush his teeth try buying DentaBone wich is for dogs clean teeth and fresh breath, or they make certain dog foods for teeth, allow the vet to do the cleanings for you so you can avoid and damage to the gums or teeth.
Reply:personally i have found a great new web site called companion dental. i have been using there treats on my dog for the past 11 months and i cant even tell you how his breath and teeth look and smell. check out there web site they sell all natural treats %26amp; they ship to your door monthly. best money i ever spent on my dog!!!!!
Reply:better brush ur dog with kids tooth paste ,as u get it in fruit flavors.my dog loves being brushed.

What helps hamsters teeth other than chew sticks and hamster food?
I want to know if like any other types of human food might help my hamsters teeth stay strong but not long.
1 more thing can you in any way brush your hamsters teeth?
What helps hamsters teeth other than chew sticks and hamster food?
dog biscuits help wear their teeth down since hamsters' teeth never stop growing. make sure the dog treats aren'y made from any type of meat since hamsters are not carnivours and should only eat fruits and veggies. carrots are also a good idea. sometimes hamsters will gnaw on their cage bars to wear down thir teeth. hope this helps : )
Reply:carrot sticks
and not sure about brushing their teeth. i suppose if they let u then just be gentle
Reply:I would ask your veterinarian or go to the pet store where you bought it about the different foods that are good for it. Don't take any risks. The little one could get very sick. I wouldn't even try to brush the teeth. Toothpaste might also be harmful. Remember our pet food recall and toothpaste recall? Very scary. Good luck with the little guy/girl.
Reply:toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls r the best next 2 wood chips best of luck
P.S u dont need 2 brush there teeth there fine the way they r
Reply:dog biscuits and carrots keep their teeth down, and strong, and no, you cant brush a hamsters teeth
Reply:A hamsters normal commercial diet mix of seeds nuts and cereal should keep his teeth down, but their are lots of other tasty treats that will garentee this.
Hamsters adore dog biscutes! (plain) Almost all hamster web sites and books will recommend this to help their teeth, and hamsters love them.
Dried pasts is popular. I also feed my hamster monkey nuts, brazil nuts and hazel nuts, still incases in the shells so my hamster will use his teeth to the max to get to the nut inside.
All pet stores will also sell wood blocks for hamsters to chew on, sometimes you can get them in fruity flavours. All these foods and treats will stop hamsters from chewing on the bars of their cage too. Alot of people think hamsters do this to trim their teeth down, and its not true. they do it through boredom and it is very dangerous and can lead to brain damage.
Lastly, dont ever attempt to clean a hamsters teeth!! Hamsters teeth continually grow, and renew themselves. They do look yellow, but this is as it should be.
Reply:Carrots and cauliflower and no you can't brush a hamsters teeth.
Reply:To trim your hamsters teeth:
APPROVED fruits and veggies:
-Apples (not for dwarf hamsters)
-Bananas (not for dwarf hamsters)
-Brocolli
-Cabbage
-Carrots (not for dwarf hamsters)
-Cauliflower
-Celery
-Corn
-Cucumber
-Deandelions
-Grapes
-Kale
-Peas
-Potato
-Spinach
-Squash
-Sweet Potato
-Turnips
-Watercress
-Zucchini
Choose any hard fruits or veggies to help trim hamster's teeth.
Also, it is recommended to give hamsters about one dog biscuit a week(not too large of a biscuit, though) to help trim their teeth.
Someone stated above that hamsters will chew on their cage bars to trim their teeth. Which is true. However, chewing on the hard metal of the cage bars is dangerous for the hamster, as it can cause misallignment of the hamster's jaw.
Two main reasons for chewing on the cage bars is
1) Not enough chewable objects in the cage
2) Monotony in the cage (Which means that the hamster is bored, so move some things around in the cage and add some branches from non-poisonous trees...ex: Willow or fruit trees)
For your question about brushing your hamsters teeth...there shouldn't be any need to brush your hamsters teeth. If there is a specific medical reason, then you should contact a local vet to do the job for you.
If you have any other questions about anything, feel free to ask me anytime!
Good Luck! :)

Reply:I would not brush hamsters teeth because the enamel can be worn away and then it will cause a problem with the teeth. If the hamsters gets board, they might gnaw on the side of there cage.

I found some of my dog's teeth.......?
i know that dogs go through teething, however, for some reason i wasn't expecting to actually FIND his teeth on the floor.
so, he's losing his baby teeth and getting his adult teeth in....
right????
like a human??/
thanks!
I found some of my dog's teeth.......?
Exactly...My dog went through that when he was a puppy and it totally freaked me out! I found like 4 or 5 of them...in his food bowl, on the couch, one was even stuck in a toy! I thought something was wrong with him 'cause I didn't know about them actually LOOSING their teeth, but the vet said it was perfectly normal.
Reply:stop feeding him chocolate
Reply:Sounds like it. Just make sure he has plenty of things to chew on to get those teeth out and the new ones in.
Reply:Yes, you are right about this. Puppies lose their baby teeth as the adult teeth are pushing thru. Just like we do!!
Reply:Dogs loose thier teeth. I have found them in the water dish, stuck into toys, ect. If your dog is a puppy still, it's natural!
Reply:Yes, that is what is going on. Pups usually swallow most of their baby teeth. However, it is not uncommon for them to spit some of them out.
Reply:That is exactly right. They are also like humans in that each dog will loose his or her teeth at different ages. I have an english bulldog and we would find some of his baby teeth other times I thik he swallowed them. No worries. Just make sure that your puppy has lots to chew on or he'll chew on your furniture or shoes or something else that he is not suppouse to.

Baby Teeth in Dogs Still In?
My Boston Terrier, Oreo, just turned 1 on last August. We noticed that she still has 4 front baby teeth on the bottom, and 4 front baby teeth on the top. We think her permanent teeth had never came in.
My other previous two BTs, Tobi and Pepper, both had all permanent teeth (Pepper had beautiful teeth) that came in. Oreo's the only one who still has baby teeth at her age......they all look white and clean looking....she looks cute in them though. LOL
Is Oreo's teeth similiar to some humans who had a couple of baby teeth that never came out (no permanent teeth had created)? I am one of those people, and I have a fixed bridge made when I was 18, and I still have it today (in my 30s).
Is this common in dogs?
Baby Teeth in Dogs Still In?
any deciduous (baby) teeth that are still there after 7 months need to be removed! It can cause serious issues with her permanent teeth!! call the vet and get it scheduled! (it will require anesthetic!)

Reply:With dogs, some teeth do not come in but with pups , as in min-pins, boston terriers and chicuauas, etc they some times need a vet to pull the baby teeth so the permanent teeth will come through! Just check with the vet or look at hers with a flashlight to see if any white pockets above the gum line they may mean the adult teeth are there but the baby teeth are hindering them!

Reply:It is common for small dogs to sometimes have to have thier baby teeth pulled. So I wouldnt worry to much and just take him to the vet and they can fix him right up.

If someone was born without wisdom teeth would they be considered an example of evolution?
A lot of evolutionary science is based on teeth because they tell a lot about the species. Especially the number of teeth they have. If a human was born without a set of wisdom teeth at all (x-rayed) what would that say about them? Would they be more evolved than someone who did? Would that happen randomly or could it mean that individual was more advanced?

Reply:Thats a good question, my Dad was born without wisdom teeth, but I got wisdom teeth. It would seem to me that if his lack of wisdom teeth was due to evolution creating a stronger breed of man, then that trait would be dominant when he and my Mom created me. I was born with wisdom teeth though so my moms genes in that area must have been dominant. Does that make sense? Interesting question though.
Reply:Sum scientists thinks that human evolution is startin from wat

born without wisdom teeth, they're advanced in their mind !
Reply:Not everyone is born with every part of they're body text book placed , and some have a few pieces and parts missing or maybe a few extra digits. Accidents do happen , and no it isn't evolution. Some people are born with multiple sets of teeth that come in behind the original teeth.
Reply:Evolution doesn't happen on an individual scale. It happens within a population. If not having wisdom teeth turned out to be advantageous to a population's ability to create fertile offspring, then what you would see is a gradual trend over time of a greater percentage of the population born without wisdom teeth. One person being born without them would just be a genetic defect and would say nothing about them or the rest of the population.
Reply:Nope. However, every generation, more and more people are being born without wisdom teeth. THAT is an example of evolution.
Reply:If their lack of wisdom teeth gave them a reproductive advantage it might eventually lead to evolution. However, with modern dental care teeth don't really factor into it anymore. People no longer die of a tooth abscess and fail to reproduce because of it.
Reply:Individuals don't evolve; populations do. Evolution refers to the changes in DNA of a population over time. If a person was born without wisdom teeth, that would mean that the gene or genes that activated wisdom teeth growth in humans was mutated in them. Gene mutation is incredibly common. Every single one of us has at least a few bits of our DNA that weren't copied perfectly. We're all mutants. For the most part, it's nothing that really does anything. We don't notice. When it is something noticeable, it's often detrimental, like genetic diseases. Sometimes, though, it helps, like the people who don't grow wisdom teeth. That doesn't make them any more advanced than the rest of us, though, because evolution doesn't have a direction. It's not going anywhere, and it doesn't matter if you are Albert Einstein or a cold virus; if you pass on your genetic information to future generations, you're successful.
What would be evolution is if those people without wisdom teeth were so much more successful in reproduction than the rest of us that, a few generations down the road, almost no one got wisdom teeth.
Reply:No, it would be considered a mutation. If that trait was passed on to then next generation, then the next, and the next, and the next, until the general population had that trait, then it would be considered an example of evolution.
Reply:This is a difficult question to answer because firstly evolution is a theory not a fact. With regards to wisdom teeth, a brief background should be given in order to fully
understand.
As we all know, when we are young we loose our teeth to which "adult" teeth grow in. Now, there are many cases in which an "adult" tooth does not develop and therefore does not grow in. This is also the case with wisdom teeth.
A statistical messure should be preformed to determine whether there has been a decline in the development of wisdom teeth from generation to generation. If it was found that there was a decline, then perhaps a stronger argument could be made that evolution has taken place. Otherwise, the development(or non-development as it may be the case) of your wisdom teeth is purely a result of your genes and luck. =)
Reply:I had seven wisdom teeth. One of them would have consisted of two teeth. The dentist had to break it out of my face to get it removed. The swelling on both sides of my cheeks was so bad that it created a cyst. After a few months, it burst while I was shaving. A purple puss leaked from my cheek and it left a pock mark. I would venture to guess that these "abnormalities," are indeed a part of natural selection. Humanity, like all creatures of the earth is constantly evolving.
Reply:the answer is no. it's kind of like somebody that's born with down syndrome. the growing rate of people born with down syndrome or autism is about 200% greater today than it was a couple hundred years ago, but that doesn't mean that the world will eventually be mostly autistic....
Reply:First of all, "evolution" or "Darwinism" is, at best, a theory. Some would call it a religion.
Secondly, most people do NOT have wisdom teeth, or at least all of them. (I am one of them.)
Various hominids have varying amount of teeth (see The "Neanderthal’s Necklace, In Search of the First Thinkers", Juan Luis Arsuaga, Translated by Andy Klatt, Illustrations by Juan Carlos Sastre, Copyright 2001 by Juan Luis Arsuaga, Translation Copyright 2002 by Four Walls Eight Windows.
Most of what is espoused by Darwinists is just plain fallacy! (Remember Lucy, found by Dr. Leakey in the Oldavai Gorge? She was just a chimpanzee!
Modern man is not only much weaker than primitive man, but also had a much greater brain capacity than modern man!
Sorry, varying number of wisdom teeth has to do with MAN (the male of the species) desire to mate with ANYONE and ANYTHING that moves (and some that do not move).

Will Humans evolve without CANINE teeth?
We don't really require them anymore as we don't shred raw meat, but rather cook it. Everything else we cut and chew

Nope, as long as we are omnivores we will have canines.

I, myself, only developed three, and some don't develop any at all.

I work in a general dentists' office who does orthodontic work and we see patients, enough of them, that are born congenitally missing their canine teeth and have had to have them replaced through prosthetic means. (Bridges)
I believe that since we live in a society that eats so much processed food that is relatively soft and doesn't require as much 'tearing' and 'chewing' as was once with meats that we are very slowly beginning to evolve without them.
It could, however, just be a coincidence! Guess only time will tell!

Are there any mammals, aside from humans, that are born without teeth?
I know guinea pigs are born with teeth, and I believe rabbits are.
I also think that cats and dogs are born with teeth.
What about monkies?
The things I wonder about ;-)
Are there any mammals, aside from humans, that are born without teeth?
Since mammals (which includes cats and dogs) are milk fed they don't need teeth and thus are born without them. Most develop what is called "milk teeth" (humans call these "baby teeth") even while still nursing but are subsequently replaced with permanent teeth. I do know from experience that when piglets are born some do have teeth and will be clipped by the caretakers so the sow won't be in pain when nursing them.
One more interesting fact since you ask about mammals and teeth. There are three mammals that never have teeth. They are the sloth, armadillo and anteater.

Its only a question of bad breath and ettiquette and bad diet !

Reply:well because we don't want to have ugly teeth. Animals actually don't have bad teeth. they brush them all the time you just dont think they do!If we didn't brush our teeth then we would have bad breath, yellow and bad teeth, cavities.

First of all because they are animals and they can't talk and second of all they proboly don't know what a dentist is. What a stupid question!
Reply:We have to brush our teeth for hygiene purposes. And to get rid of plaque. Animals dont need this (apart from cats and dogs) as they eat unprocessed, raw food and they gnaw food as well which gets rid of rubbish.

Reply:Because we as humans have a diet full of refined sugar. Animals don't consume near as much sugar as we do, therefore don't get as many cavities.

Reply:Actually, mammals are born without teeth because it is a selective advantage since we nurse our young. I'm sure if babies did have teeth, there would be no way the mother would be willing to nurse it if it was going to bite its nipples! Here's a good website that talks about mammals and teeth.

How many mammals (humans aside) lose their baby teeth before reaching adulthood?
It seems strange as an adult to watch my baby boy's teeth come through, knowing they will just fall out again in a few years. I just wondered about other species, and whether they also have the teething problems we have as children.
How many mammals (humans aside) lose their baby teeth before reaching adulthood?
all primates have it happen. Puppies loose their teeth, and I think the same happens for kittens. I am pretty sure its a common thing in mammals in general, because as the head grows the old teeth are a bit out of place. So they are lost and replaced with permanent teeth and the molars.
Reply:All kinda animals has been having this...process...!

How come out brains are so wonderfully constructed and our teeth are not?
After millions of years of evolution we still get toothache and bad teeth. Yet there is no evolutionary reason for it. I can understand why you feel pain in your hands--it stops you putting your finger in the fire. But what on earth use is toothache?
Sharks have a much better deal than humans--they grow new teeth when the old ones wear out.
NB this isn't a Creationist argument. Toothache would make no more sense from a Creationist point of view than from an evolutionary one.
How come out brains are so wonderfully constructed and our teeth are not?
Well we have just as many problems with our brains as our teeth. I have good teeth and have no problems with them. Lots of people have problems with their brains, look at all of the mental problems, headaches, and accidents that hurt your brain as well. Also if you take care of your teeth every day you wont get a tooth ache unless your teeth are crooked.
Reply:Toothache makes perfect sense from a creationists viewpoint.
Teeth and brain were originally created perfect but since the fall have been degraded. In fact the whole of the universe is 'groaning'.
Our teeth are amazingly designed and by and large last us a life time.
I'd say that our brains are also less able than they used to be. We still don't know how people built the pyramids, and how sacsahuaman was built - rocks weighing 20,000 tonnes that we could not life and move even today.
Our teeth and brains are clearly wonderfully designed - but degraded.
PS Please do share your evidence that teeth have evolved from anything at all. Plenty of fossil teeth out there, so qwhere are the fossil 'not quite teeth yet'?
Reply:i dont know
Reply:teeth, when exposed to bacteria, rot and as a result you get toothaches and bad teeth .

Reply:Our brains stay in better shape then our teeth because we actually use our teeth.
Note to Chas_chas_123: If you want the "almost-tooth", take a look at shark teeth and shark scales. They are almost identical.
Reply:Teeth are wonderfully constructed. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body.
Teeth were just never intended to last as long as humans now live. Humans originally only needed to survive long enough to reproduce and raise young. Teeth also struggle to cope with our modern, high sugar diet.

Note to Chas_chas_123: If you want the "almost-tooth", take a look at shark teeth and shark scales. They are almost identical.
Reply:Teeth are wonderfully constructed. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body.
Teeth were just never intended to last as long as humans now live. Humans originally only needed to survive long enough to reproduce and raise young. Teeth also struggle to cope with our modern, high sugar diet.

How come out brains are so wonderfully constructed and our teeth are not?
After millions of years of evolution we still get toothache and bad teeth. Yet there is no evolutionary reason for it. I can understand why you feel pain in your hands--it stops you putting your finger in the fire. But what on earth use is toothache?
Sharks have a much better deal than humans--they grow new teeth when the old ones wear out.
NB this isn't a Creationist argument. Toothache would make no more sense from a Creationist point of view than from an evolutionary one.
How come out brains are so wonderfully constructed and our teeth are not?
Most tooth problems happen when you are older, or are because of excessive sugar intake when younger. It's not that toothache has a "use", any more than the ache of a boil: it is a signal telling us that we are injured/infected.
When humans were evolving, we didn't have enough sugar in our diet to cause this problem.
By the time we were old enough to have tooth problems, we'd already have had children and passed our genes on, so there was no evolutionary pressure to have any other system.
Sharks, OTOH, are constantly losing teeth throughout their lives. Their method of feeding just causes them to get ripped out periodically, so they *need* to have replacements constantly provided.

Weird question..but can humans use dog toothpaste?i heard it makes your teeth REALLY white. is it safe??
dog toothpaste safe for humans? has anyone tried dog toothpaste? what was the outcome? i heard of a lady who used it and everyone asks her how she got her teeth so white..and she always says its from dog paste!
Weird question..but can humans use dog toothpaste?i heard it makes your teeth REALLY white. is it safe??
I think she's pulling your leg. If you want your teeth whiter, you've got to bleach them. Either OTC products like crest white strips or see your dentist for custom trays and bleach or in-office bleaching. I wouldn't try the dog toothpaste. Unless it is filet mignon flavored, lol.
Reply:try it, and tell me how it went. =]
Reply:I wouldn't try it for the dangers, and the beef flavoring.
And by the way, white teeth doesn't = healthy teeth
Reply:If you start barking, then you might have problems. Please some people eat do food too.

Do humans realy use there front teeth anymore?
the back teeth, like molors, are for smashing.
the front teeth, like incisors and the k-9s, are for ripping and tearing, meat. but its "impolite" to pick up a steak and to just start biting it.
so does that mean we only use them when eating burgers and to smile.
Do humans realy use there front teeth anymore?
I'm a dentist.
I think you answered your own question. Front teeth are used for cutting food into portions that fit in your mouth for your back teeth to macerate (smash and grind). Obviously, there are some foods for which we use a fork and knife to cut into bite-size portions, but some foods require us to bite into them.
Your front teeth are also important for speech. Various phonemes (e.g. "th", "f", "v") are made using your front teeth, and edentulous patients do indeed have some difficulty making these sounds properly.
Your front teeth serve another extremely important purpose. They protect your masticatory system. All teeth are surrounded by a periodontal ligament that holds them into the bone. The periodontal ligament (PDL) of each tooth contains pressure receptors that tell your brain how much pressure each tooth is experiencing. Your masticatory system is set up in a way where the front teeth are not supposed to experience any significant forces. When you clench your back teeth together, your front teeth do not touch, hence you can clench hard. When you slide your jaw foreward or to the side, your front teeth touch. This sends a message back to your brainstem (and in particular, the trigeminal nucleus) telling it that the front teeth are touching. This in turn makes your masticatory system relax the muscles that allow you to bite. Why is this important? For two reasons: one, because your front teeth are not meant to take significant biting forces--they will break. But also because your temporomandibular joints are not meant to take heavy biting loads when they are shifted from their "home" position. They can be damaged if that happens.
Finally, your front teeth serve an important aesthetic function (even with your mouth and lips closed). They support your lips and mid-face. Extract your front teeth, and your lips and philtrum (that little divet under your nose) will sink in to varying extents, and your midface may have a sunken-in appearance.
Your front teeth are incredibly important--as are your back teeth.

The incisors and canines are very important for eating..
Think apples!
Also they are involved in speech,u wouldnt sound the same without them.

Reply:Incisors and canines have less importance after the invention of the knife and fork. However, for foods that you wouldn't use a knife/fork for like fruit, vegetables, or say, chicken drumsticks, we still have use for incisors and canines.

What is thew set of tooth of a human?
First the deciduous teeth erupt, or 'baby' teeth. They are also referred to as Primary teeth. Usually, the first two to erupt are the lower central incisors, then the upper central incisors usually follow.

Do monkeys have 2 sets of teeth when born as humans do?
Assuming that they do, where can the two sets of teeth be traced back to? (also assuming that we accept Darwins' theory about the evolution of man.)
Do monkeys have 2 sets of teeth when born as humans do?
Yes, the condition of having two sets of teeth (the so-called 'milk teeth', and the full adult set) is a common characteristic of all mammals.
It's called diphyodonty (which means 'having two sets of teeth'), and it can be traced back to the earliest mammals and the synapsid reptiles that came before them.
Diphyodonty isn't a case where one set of teeth became two, it's actually a reduction from the continuous replacement of teeth in most reptiles, down to only two sets in mammals.
The reason has to do with the development of heterodonty, which is different shaped teeth in different parts of the mouth for different jobs. We have incisors for gripping and pinching food, canines for stabbing, and molars for grinding and processing. Most reptiles (i.e. crocodiles) have lots of very similar teeth - usually pointy - that don't have much differentiation in their function.
The development of heterodonty in mammals provided the means via which different mammals could quickly become specialized to eat specific foods. Some were insectivores, some specialized in gnawing open seeds, some got big canines and meat-slicing molars to become highly efficient carnivores.
However, with heterodonty, the reptilian system of continual tooth replacement doesn't work well. Mammals need all of their teeth working together properly all the time - the cusps and crowns need to occlude in exactly the right way to make an efficient food processing system. If teeth are falling out and growing in at different times, each at different stages of development, then there's too many holes in the processing system, and the parts don't work together properly.
By reducing the replacement to a single exchange, it becomes more efficient. It means that if a mammal ever gets busted or rotten teeth as an adult, there's no replacement, but while the teeth are there, they work very, very well.
Reply:Yes, they do.
Monkeys, remember, split off from what would become the ape progenitors, long before the ape progenitors split into apes and humans.
Actually, nearly all placental mammals have deciduous teeth.
So what that tells us, evolutionarily, is one of two things:
1) Convergent evolution allowed for nearly all mammals to develop the growth of baby teeth.
or
2) Early mammals had deciduous teeth, and that trait was passed on to all evolutionary decendants.
Choice 2 is the simplest explanation, and therefore the most likely, and is borne out by fossil records.

How many permanent teeth do most humans have?
Anymore most people have 28 permanent teeth but most people have the buds for 32 permanent teeth and the last 4 either need to be extracted or never actually come through the gums. Some people have no problems and their wisdom teeth come in naturally. The wisdom teeth usually come in or need to be extracted in most people's early twenties.

Yes my dog lost some teeth but make sure they don't swallow it.
Reply:Yes they lose their baby teeth and grow new ones. Unfortunately, if the owner doesn't properly care for their pet's teeth, they can't get false ones.
Reply:yes, dogs lose their puppy teeth and adult teeth grow back in just like in human children. If your dog loses an adult tooth take him/her to the vet to make sure it will not interfere with their chewing and nutrition.
Reply:yes they have baby teeth that they lose. the dog man
Reply:Yes, dogs do loose their teeth, we just realy don't take the time notice it. Some breeds can have up to four sets of teeth. One time I was holding my little dog and she was chewing on my hand, then all of a sudden her tooth poped out! So yes, dogs can loose their teeth!
Reply:PUPPIES LOOSE TEETH, BECAUSE I KEPT THE ONES I FOUND FROM MY PETS......
Reply:yes.
Reply:Puppies will loose their baby teeth between 3 and 7 months. Most times they will swallow them so you don't normally see them.
Reply:yes when they are puppies. If they begin to start losing teeth after they are an adult then that can be a sign of dental disease

Do dogs shed their milk teeth just as we humans do?
What happens when dogs' sharp teeth when they grow up?
Do dogs shed their milk teeth just as we humans do?
Yes - Puppies loose their "Baby" teeth just like humans do - They usually start loosing them at around 4 months and will continue until they're around 7-8 months until all their baby teeth have been replaced with Adult teeth.
Reply:yes they do. you will find the teeth on the floor usually by their food bowl or something like that.
Reply:Dogs loose a set of teeth just like humans do. They loose them at around 5 to 6 months and then they will grow in there new teeth pretty quick.
Reply:Dogs do have "baby teeth" that they will lose at 4-6 months old. They are often swallowed by the puppy after they fall out.
Reply:They lose them. Will fall out, swallow them.
They hurt bad!!
I have a 13 week old Lab puppy. She uses me as her own chew toy!!
Reply:Yes they do. My husband was right there when he spotted some blood on my dog's lips, at about 4 months old, and the baby teeth just popped right out onto the hardwood floor.
Dogs usually eat these teeth and sometimes they get buried in the carpet and vacumed up.
Reply:Yes dogs loose there teeth. They usually loose all there baby teeth by the time they are four years old.
Over the years the adult teeth will dull down but it usually isn't a problem. some senior dogs however have to have there food mixed 50/50 dry and wet food.
Its recomended to get your dog a teeth cleaning about once a year and that way the vet can advise you of any problems your pub may encounter.
Reply:yes they will lose their teeth between 4-6 months depending on the breed...usually you will not notice because they are eaten or are just tiny and get lost in the shuffle...this also happens for geriatric dogs...keep their teeth healthy by brushing and later on getting dental cleanings from your vet...if you start getting them used to brushing their teeth when they are younger then it will make your life easier when they are older because they will be used to have their teeth brushed
Reply:yes, we always found teeth in my dogs toys, the ones made of string, but of course they grow back. its natural.

How many teeth do we humans have ?
32 is the correct answer, counting the wisdom teeth. If you count for your whole life, the answer is 52 because you have 20 baby teeth first!
ALSO, there are variations - some people get an extra tooth between the front upper central incisors, called a "mesiodens." it's kind of peg-shaped, usually.
Also, some people have multiple wisdom teeth. I knew a girl in school who had 7 removed, and I've read in dental texts of very rare cases where adults get a THIRD set in their life, rather than two sets most people have.

How are rabbits' teeth different to humans?
in number and type of tooth?
And what foods does the dental structure mean they are unable to eat?
How are rabbits' teeth different to humans?
Rabbits, have two upper and two lower incisor teeth and two smaller pulp teeth behind the upper incisors. Rabbits have a total of six teeth rather than four, as is characteristic of rodents.
Reply:Since Rabbits teeth keep growing they need to constantly eat,whereby the incisors are kept in check by grinding them together. In case the rabbit has maloccluded incisors they grow so long that they start tearing into the opposite flesh and if left untreated the rabbit will eventually die. In nature though the incisors are always aligned but you can still see one or two every 100 have this problem. They love a particular species of grass and they also eat other vegetables like cabbages, carrots etc but the grass is its staple diet.
Reply:I'm not sure the exact name of the teeth, but rabbits have I believe 8 teeth. The regular rodent teeth, but on each side of the teeth there are smaller, more pointed teeth. They are not even rodents! Anyone who tells you a rabbit is a rodent is a fool. Because of the extra 4 teeth, they are classified as lagomorphs. You can do more reading about it on the internet.

Where can I learn about Wisdom Teeth?
I have a final project in my Human Evolution class on Wisdom Teeth. I eventually have to explain why wisdom teeth get impacted so much in modern humans, but I also need a lot of information on wisdom teeth to base it on. So while information on things like the prehistoric shortening of the human face would be swell, any information would probably do.
Please, don't answer my questions directly. It's absolutely worthless for me, because I can't cite that I got information from someone on Yahoo! Answers. Point me towards other sites that have good information on Wisdom Teeth.
Time is of the essence. The project is due by Friday.

Wikipedia is a great starting place though to get your thoughts around the subject, and visit the sources cited in the wikipedia article.
You may want to also interview a dentist. You can do an email, phone, or in person interview and cite either way as a source.
You may also want to take some books out of the library. Most librarians are trained in research and can point you towards the books that would be of interest to you. They also look better on a citation list.
Good luck!

How to brush a dog's teeth..?
Butterfly Ivy, I noticed a resolved question of yours about how to clean a dog's teeth, when the dog refuses to let you get the job done. There is something called DentaTreat, it is all natural, and you sprinkle it on a dog or cat's kibble before every meal. The stuff is genius, the lady who told me about it has six huskies and they all have whiter teeth then most humans I know. I hope this helps you out
Good Luck.
How to brush a dog's teeth..?
Yeah there is another really good idea I've seen in Petsmart before! Theres something that looks like a chew toy to dogs, but it has bristles in it. You put some pet toothpaste in it and they chew away, not realizing they're brushing their teeth! No work required for the human. Sprinkling something on their food isnt entirely beneficial because it doesn't wisk the plaque and other bacteria off their teeth, which is what bristles are there for!

Human canine, incisors, molars and pre molars functions?
Hi I need to find out what the function for these teeth are in humans. I need to know the canine, incisor, molar and pre-molars please soon.
Thanks and please help!!!
Human canine, incisors, molars and pre molars functions?
The incisors are for cutting stuff up, and that's why they're called incisors. Canines could be said to be for stabbing, but they're not specialized enough to be all that good at the job. Then again, they don't have to be given our diet. Their actual function is usually not all that different from the incisors. The function of the premolars varies with age. At first, they act as grinders. Later, as the molars erupt and develop, those teeth largely take over that task. By that stage, the premolars do a bit of light grinding but the thorough chewing gets done with the molars.
Next time you happen to be eating, try and notice what your teeth and tongue get up to with the food. Your tongue gets involved by flicking morsals into position for the teeth. You should find you're only eating with one side of the mouth at any single time. That's a trick mammals developed so as to maximize the amount of available bite power.

What is the evolutionary purpose for people to have crooked teeth?
I know many people get braces, sometimes to prevent infections and eating/heath difficulties.
And the wisdom tooth is commonly removed because it does not grow straight and may cause damange to the other teeth.
Why have humans evolved to have some people crooked teeth and other teeth alignment problems? (while some people have naturally straight teeth?)
What is it's purpose, if any?
What is the evolutionary purpose for people to have crooked teeth?
My dad was from an era when there was almost no intermarriage among different ethnicities. Even "white" people tended to marry those of similar background. In other words, a Brit would not marry a German or a Russian would not marry someone from France. Heck, most people wouldn't even marry someone from a different region of their own country. This made for a fairly homogenous gene pool and most people looked quite a bit alike. This is the reason we can look at someone and say, "He looks kind of Italian," and so on. There was a limited variation of features.
Once people - especially in the good old U. S. of A. - got to know each other and found that people from other regions of the world were not from the planet Mars, they started to intermarry; much to the dismay of the prior generation in most cases. When these marriages started to produce offspring, you could see that the baby got his eyes from Dad and his hair color from Mom, and so on. Well, it was only natural that, in some cases, the child might get Dad's huge teeth and Mom's tiny bone structure. My wife's teeth look exactly like her father's flat, square teeth and her brother's teeth look exactly like his mother's small and rounded teeth. Instead of getting teeth that fit nicely in the jaws, we started to see a jumbled up mess. I'm not saying that man never had crooked teeth prior to the 20th century, but it was my father's observation that far, far more people had crooked teeth when their parents were of differing ethnic backgrounds. The span of his career was from 1936 (dental school) to 1992, so he saw a lot in that time. I do believe that he was correct in assessing the social changes in America (and probably other countries) and the role it played in the growth of the specialty of orthodontics.
And don't forget (just as a sidebar) that having your teeth straightened by braces does not mean your children will be born with straight teeth.
There may be an evolutionary trend towards lower incidence of third molars in humans, but this kind of thing occurs over a period of thousands and thousands of years. I think we have seen an explosion of people with crooked teeth in just fifty years. There is no evolutionary purpose for having crooked teeth. Heck, if we were still living in caves and had no orthodontists, maybe the people with crooked teeth and crossbites would die off because they couldn't chew as well as their orthodontically correct brethren.
Reply:Diversity in the gene pool allows for adaptation to unforseen environmental change.
Life is a messy thing.
Reply:So that dentists can have plenty work to do. What would they do if they have no work to do? Become extinct?
Reply:Back in the days of cave dwelling Im sure that everyones teeth were nice and staright because of all the exercise they got chewing meat. We eat very lazily now and the teeth can just go wonky and there is no natural way to correct it. Anyway, it keeps the dentists in work lol;
Reply:I have quite a small mouth and had crooked teeth and teeth growing up and down from everywhere all over the place, the dentist were quite amazed and had to study my teeth for a week before he could try anything on my mouth. I often asked myself why do I have such naughty teeth and my friends such beautiful natural straight teeth. It baffled my mind for long, but I've made peace with that, nobody knows why anyway.
Reply:I'm a dentist.
We didn't evolve to have crooked teeth. Crooked teeth is basically a disease (like a deviated septum) that most people survive with no problem. Hence, there is no evolutionary selection pressure to eliminate these issues--especially with the existence of orthodontic therapy.
Make no mistake about it, though, we are not "supposed" to have crooked teeth.

Should you brush your dogs teeth?
i do brush my dogs teeth but i think it mekes his breth stink more. sould i get a dog tooth brush and tooth paste or is human stuff fine? thanks for all your help!!!
Should you brush your dogs teeth?
yes you should brush your dog's teeth. buy a good dog tooth brush and paste as they are designed to work efficiently on a dogs dental structure. plus the taste of the paste is something they will enjoy which makes it easier. dont be surprised if you dog doesnt like the idea of getting his teeth brushed. once a week should do. also get your dog a good chew toy, like a rawhide bone as that will help keep your dogs teeth clean and gums healthy. good oral hygiene habits for your dog is as important as good oral hygiene is in people. your dog will live a longer healthier life if you get into this habit. if your dogs breath stinks, try changing up the food. too much wet dog food does this more than dry dog food. but watch out cause changing your dogs normal diet too often can cause stomach upset just like in people
Reply:NO human toothpaste, buy doggie toothpaste. We know enough to spit out our toothpaste (which is not supposed to be edible), dogs do not know to spit after wards.
It is OK to use human toothbrushes. My Saint has a Nemo toothbrush and my Newfie has a Sponge bob toothbrush :)
I brush both my dogs teeth every single night. Brushing your dogs teeth does not make his breath smell more. That is like saying when you brush you teeth you still have stale breath. And let me tell you I SEE a difference when clients bring their dogs in for dentals!!! You can tell who brushes and who does not.
Peanut butter and beef flavored toothpaste are the favorites around my house!
Reply:Use special toothpaste for dogs, or just use a soft clean cloth and rub his teeth down good with it. That's what I did with my dog, and what the vet recommended. His teeth were beautiful. And dog's breath always smells..that's just one of those doggie things!
Reply:Ask any vet and they will say it's good to brush your dogs teeth. There are doggie toothbrushes and doggie toothpastes you can try that are available at any Petco or Petsmart. Good luck and keep brushin!
Reply:There are all sorts of tooth brushes out there for dogs. I personally do not brush my dogs teeth. I have them done when I take them to the dog salon. (Just lazy!)
I give them lots of dog treats that are crunchy and toys that they can chew on to help with the teeth cleaning. I also give them the best dry dog food on the market which keeps them very healthy! (Check out web site for their food below.)
I also limit their sweet treats! They both have a sweet tooth-like me!
Reply:A dog tooth brush is shaped differently then a humans tooth brush so you should use a dog toothbrush. You should also have dog toothpaste. It is formulated for dogs so they are more likely to allow you to brush their teeth.
Reply:No human stuff.... You will need a dog tooth brush and dog tooth paste humans is not good for them it contains floride in it ! You can get it from your local pet store
Reply:I have a yellow lab , she is real big yellow lab, I bought the whole package with all the trimmings first thing you put tooth paste on they start spitting and shying away from you and have a job on your hands. I never did get to her to stand still . so if you feed then dry dog food it cleans their teeth pretty good. My Vet, wanted me to bring her in they'd clean her teeth , give her antibiotic shot and by the time she went on and on about what all they would do to her, I got out of there real fast like. I wouldn't want her put one through that misery for a sparkler smile.
Reply:Get dog toothpaste (no human paste at all). You should brush the teeth daily. A brush is fine, but you can also use a piece of gauze or cotton pad, wet, and add paste -- use this to wipe you dogs teeth front/back.
Trick -- to get your dog use to you putting your fingers in its mouth, dip your fingers in some beef broth and rub along gums daily for a week or so. This will allow him/her to feel more comfortable.
Reply:i don't brush my dogs teeth
no don't use human toothpaste either use toothpaste for dogs.
dogs use bones out of meat to chew on and i heard it strengthens there teeth and cleans them
Reply:Well i think you should but don't ever EVER give him/her human tooth paste buy special toothpaste just for dogs or don't wast money just clean its mouth with a wet rag. You don't have to brush their teeth all it does is help get food out from their teeth and prevents them from being irritated.
Reply:if u do brush you dog teeth good luck they do not like it but i got to say my dog dose have better breath
Reply:if he asks you for a brush and toothpaste.. why deny him the pleasure?!?
note that in a natural environment, neither mannor dogs has to brush their teeth (nor cobras, lions, armadillos, ants, cheetahs or giraffes and elephants- if they have them that is)
teeth problems arise because of our diet full of refined sugars which prove to be a wealthy source of food for the organisms causing tooth problems.
so if you give your doggy a good diet you should not worry about bad breath when your doggy kisses you!
hope this helped (and sorry for my humor.. i'm just in that type of mood today lol! =))
Reply:Absolutely no Human Toothpaste.
There is nothing wrong with using a human toothbrush though. Brushing your dogs teeth everyday is needed, their breaths should not smell after a nice cleaning. I brush my dog's teeth before the last pee and poo for the day and off to bed.
Reply:listen, i had my dog for 2 years now his teeth are whiter then mine and i never brushed them once, and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww dog breath! grows
Reply:I would do it using only doggie tooth paste though. One of the reasons our pets live longer then ever is good dental care. A couple of people here say it is not "natural" but neither is living in a house with people! In the wild, a dog's life would be much shorter without the shots and vet care we give them, and good dental health is important for not only the teeth, but because the bacteria from an infection can make a dog sick in other ways too, just like people!

Why won't she brush her teeth?
I have a friend (ashame to say) that doesn't brush her teeth as much as human should. I workout with her in the morning and thats the worse time to be around her. The thing is, she showers like 2 times a day but hardly brush her teeth. FYI I know because I can see stuff caked up on her teeth...ugh gross! To me I don't care if she showers 100 times a day. If she doesn't wash her mouth, theres no use. How do I tell her nicely that she needs to wash and brush her teeth without hurting her feelings or embarassing her?
Why won't she brush her teeth?
I think the best way to go about telling someone something like this is to couch it in terms of caring -- for example, tell her you recently read an article that said that gum disease can lead to heart disease (it's true -- the chronic inflammation in your gums can lead to problems with your heart) and that you are concerned for her health since you know she doesn't brush regularly. You could also gently mention that her breath is pretty bad and that you wanted to be a true friend to her and tell her this straight-up because you know others have noticed as well.
She may be mad at you for a while, but if it makes her start brushing more often, you're doing her a big service!
Reply:Just tell her. Don't worry about it. She needs to know that her dental hygiene is disgusting. She'll thank you for it when her teeth don't turn brown and fall out.
Reply:my bf offers me that breath gum when i have bad breath.
but we are very close.
she probably hates to brush her teeth.
Reply:Maybe sit her down, so its just the 2 of you and explain your concerns, in a polite way. And say you'll still be her friend, its just you don't wanna see her lose all her teeth at a young age, as that cause more pain than, brushing... I hope that was kinda polite how I put it... but just make sure you say it in a polite way thoe. that always helps.
Reply:EWWW. That is so grossy. You would be doing her a favor, and yourself for that matter, if you told her to brush up. Nobody wants to be around that type of stink.
Reply:Buy some toothpaste, a brush and mouth wash. Put it in her locker with a nice note saying that you don't want to hurt her feelings, but that she has very bad breath and is ruining her teeth and please use the little gift you left her. You can even be anonymous if you want.
Reply:nice birthday valentine or anytime present- electric toothbrush
Reply:Snow on Cedar has it right. These other pansies are too politically correct. When I was a kid I remember talking to my mother and she scowled and told me to brush my stinking teeth. That was over 30 years ago and I remember it well and have brushed religiously since.
Reply:try this.....buy some new kind of toothpaste and take it with you ...tell her that they just came out with it and that you LOVE it!...so much that you want her to try it too...hopefully she will (just pick a tastey one to insure she will continue with it) good luck!

Wisdom Teeth?
I think one of my wisdom teeth are coming in. How do I know if it is one or not? Dose everyone get them pulled? Why do they pull them? Is there any way to keep from having them pulled? How many teeth should the adult human have?
Wisdom Teeth?
Compare this chart to what you teeth you have in your mouth
http://www.ada.org/public/topics/tooth_e...
Wisdom teeth come in around ages 17-21, though I have seen 16 year olds with them. The normal total number of teeth (with the wisdoms included) is 32.
Not everyone gets them pulled, but a large majority. This is because they can damage the teeth in front of them depending on how they are growing in. Some people believe that they can push the other teeth forward causing them to be crowded. If they do come in they are extremely likely to get cavities (which cost money and take time to fix) and also can get food caught around them causing infection.
Your dentist will most likely take a panoramic xray to see where your wisdom teeth are and can advise you as to what they think your course of action should be. And just so you know, having your wisdom teeth out isn't always a horror story. I had 5 teeth (3 wisdom %26amp; 2 premolars) out with nitrous (gas) and local anesthesia (numbness) and went home and ate. I also didn't swell or bruise, so don't focus on all of the bad stories you will hear...
Hope that helps!

Reply:not everyone gets their wisdom teeth pulled. Most do because they hurt sometimes, but when you get them pulled it will hurt alot. Godl uck
Reply:Well, I think typically people have their wisdom teeth come in around the ages of 18-22. I think you will know if it's a wisdom tooth are not. It's pretty obvious. It's in the very back, and also you should be around that age range.
No, not everyone has to have their wisdom teeth pulled. You really only need to have them pulled when they are causing you problems. Problems such as alot of pain, shifting your teeth, becoming impacted, or growing in at the wrong angle.
I don't really know of anyway that you'll be able to keep them in if they really need to be pulled. Don't worry, I had mine pulled, and it really wasn't that big of a deal.
Reply:Wisdom teeth usually come in around age 18 behind your existing molars. If there is not enough room in your mouth, then those teeth get pulled. And, an adult has 32 teeth, including wisdom teeth.
Reply:I think many people have them pulled because they either aren't growing in straight, or their mouth isn't really big enough for them. In my case, 2 of my teeth grew in crooked and were crowding the teeth in front, and the other 2 grew in underneath the teeth in front. They all were removed. You'll need to ask your dentist about yours.
Reply:you will know if it is or not. If it is growing in comfortably you'll be fine. Some people's mouths are big enough to accept the extra teeth and they live the rest of their days with four more teeth than most other people( my mother is the only example of this I know of) Some people never get them or don't have a top or bottom set. The greatest majority of scenarios include a person having four wisdom teeth, their mouths aren't big enough to comfortably accept them ( you will know if this is the case because they will break through the gums and grow in to a point where they will poke the gums and eventually cause pain as they poke into the flesh of the mouth repeatedly as you move your jaw.) At this point, most people have them cut out by an oral surgeon. there is usually a two to three day healing period accompanied by a regular administration of pain killers, on the other hand my recovery was much quicker and I was cheering at mypowderpuff game the next day
Reply:There are normally four wisdom teeth, and you need an OPG to find out more on whether you have wisdom teeth, or whether they are impacted, or if they are causing other problems inside your mouth.

http://www.ada.org/public/topics/tooth_e...
Wisdom teeth come in around ages 17-21, though I have seen 16 year olds with them. The normal total number of teeth (with the wisdoms included) is 32.
Not everyone gets them pulled, but a large majority. This is because they can damage the teeth in front of them depending on how they are growing in. Some people believe that they can push the other teeth forward causing them to be crowded. If they do come in they are extremely likely to get cavities (which cost money and take time to fix) and also can get food caught around them causing infection.
Your dentist will most likely take a panoramic xray to see where your wisdom teeth are and can advise you as to what they think your course of action should be. And just so you know, having your wisdom teeth out isn't always a horror story. I had 5 teeth (3 wisdom %26amp; 2 premolars) out with nitrous (gas) and local anesthesia (numbness) and went home and ate. I also didn't swell or bruise, so don't focus on all of the bad stories you will hear...
Hope that helps!

Reply:not everyone gets their wisdom teeth pulled. Most do because they hurt sometimes, but when you get them pulled it will hurt alot. Godl uck
Reply:Well, I think typically people have their wisdom teeth come in around the ages of 18-22. I think you will know if it's a wisdom tooth are not. It's pretty obvious. It's in the very back, and also you should be around that age range.
No, not everyone has to have their wisdom teeth pulled. You really only need to have them pulled when they are causing you problems. Problems such as alot of pain, shifting your teeth, becoming impacted, or growing in at the wrong angle.
I don't really know of anyway that you'll be able to keep them in if they really need to be pulled. Don't worry, I had mine pulled, and it really wasn't that big of a deal.
Reply:Wisdom teeth usually come in around age 18 behind your existing molars. If there is not enough room in your mouth, then those teeth get pulled. And, an adult has 32 teeth, including wisdom teeth.
Reply:I think many people have them pulled because they either aren't growing in straight, or their mouth isn't really big enough for them. In my case, 2 of my teeth grew in crooked and were crowding the teeth in front, and the other 2 grew in underneath the teeth in front. They all were removed. You'll need to ask your dentist about yours.
Reply:you will know if it is or not. If it is growing in comfortably you'll be fine. Some people's mouths are big enough to accept the extra teeth and they live the rest of their days with four more teeth than most other people( my mother is the only example of this I know of) Some people never get them or don't have a top or bottom set. The greatest majority of scenarios include a person having four wisdom teeth, their mouths aren't big enough to comfortably accept them ( you will know if this is the case because they will break through the gums and grow in to a point where they will poke the gums and eventually cause pain as they poke into the flesh of the mouth repeatedly as you move your jaw.) At this point, most people have them cut out by an oral surgeon. there is usually a two to three day healing period accompanied by a regular administration of pain killers, on the other hand my recovery was much quicker and I was cheering at mypowderpuff game the next day
Reply:There are normally four wisdom teeth, and you need an OPG to find out more on whether you have wisdom teeth, or whether they are impacted, or if they are causing other problems inside your mouth.

Do dogs teeth??
this might be a silly question...but i have a pit.and she's about 3 months now...and i just noticed today that she's drooling...and one of her teeth is kinda lose...is this normal?do dogs teeth just like humans?
Do dogs teeth??
Absolutely normal ... and sometimes it bleeds, too ... so if you see blood, don't panic! Keep a few of her hard rubber chewies in the freezer to keep her comfortable and keep her from gnawing the heck out of your furniture and shoes.
Teething lasts a few months, but the good news is that once that's over with, a lot of the pup's destructive chewing tapers off too.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yep, they do...just like humans - right now she's got puupy teeth...she'll have all her adult teeth at about 1 year...
Reply:Puppies loose their baby teeth, and this is what is happening to your puppy so she will be getting her adult teeth soon. That is why it is important to not pull really hard when you are playing with your puppy/dog when they have something in their mouth. They can loose teeth like a human can and be injured.
Reply:yes. they usually swallow the tooth that falls out.
Reply:Of course.. You ever seen an adult pit bull with little tiny wee puppy teeth in his yap??
Reply:Yes. I have two dogs and they both lost their baby (puppy) teeth. Don't worry.
Reply:yes they do. And if you catch her drooling like that as an adult it could be an infected tooth. My cat had one the other day. It had to be pulled.
Reply:yes they do, give her a chew toy or a bone
Reply:Yes, this is totally normal. She will lose all those tiny little teeth, and strong adult teeth will grow in.
During this time, you'll probably notice she just wants to chew, chew, chew. Make sure she has lots of toys to chew on. When my dogs were puppies, they quite liked to get their chompers on ice cubes every now and then to soothe the discomfort.
Reply:yes... buy lots of chew toys, bones, etc! Maybe some bitter apple as well. Good luck! :)
Reply:yep, get her some chew toys
Reply:Yes, that's why puppies chew the sh*t out of everything.
Reply:This is completely normal. She will be teething around the age of 4-5 months. She will lose all of her puppy teeth and get her adult teeth at this time. She will also want to chew all the time and will chew up things she shouldn't if you don't give her plenty of toys and chewies to keep her busy. One thing that is great when they are teething is to take one of the rope toys with the knot in each end, soak it in plain chicken broth, toss it into the freezer to freeze it and then give it to her. Because of the chicken broth, she will love it and because it is frozen it will ease the discomfort of her teething.
Reply:She will be losing teeth for the next few months. Make sure to give her plenty of raw meaty bones to help keep those new teeth clean. The meat will massage those sore gums too.
Reply:All puppies loose their baby teeth around that age.
Reply:Yes. Usually they lose their puppy teeth around 5-6 months old and grow adult teeth.
Reply:your puppy is teething %26amp; yes it is normal .

What did The Quran mention on Human Embryonic Development?
The Quran on Human Embryonic Development:
In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man’s embryonic development:
We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)... 1 (Quran, 23:12-14)
Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three meanings: (1) leech, (2) suspended thing, and (3) blood clot.
In comparing a leech to an embryo in the alaqah stage, we find similarity between the two2 as we can see in figure 1. Also, the embryo at this stage obtains nourishment from the blood of the mother, similar to the leech, which feeds on the blood of others.3
Figure 1: Drawings illustrating the similarities in appearance between a leech and a human embryo at the alaqah stage. (Leech drawing from Human Development as Described in the Quran and Sunnah, Moore and others, p. 37, modified from Integrated Principles of Zoology, Hickman and others. Embryo drawing from The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 73.)
The second meaning of the word alaqah is “suspended thing.” This is what we can see in figures 2 and 3, the suspension of the embryo, during the alaqah stage, in the womb of the mother.
Figure 2: We can see in this diagram the suspension of an embryo during the alaqah stage in the womb (uterus) of the mother. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 66.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)
Figure 3: In this photomicrograph, we can see the suspension of an embryo (marked B) during the alaqah stage (about 15 days old) in the womb of the mother. The actual size of the embryo is about 0.6 mm. (The Developing Human, Moore, 3rd ed., p. 66, from Histology, Leeson and Leeson.)
The third meaning of the word alaqah is “blood clot.” We find that the external appearance of the embryo and its sacs during the alaqah stage is similar to that of a blood clot. This is due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo during this stage4 (see figure 4). Also during this stage, the blood in the embryo does not circulate until the end of the third week.5 Thus, the embryo at this stage is like a clot of blood.
Figure 4: Diagram of the primitive cardiovascular system in an embryo during the alaqah stage. The external appearance of the embryo and its sacs is similar to that of a blood clot, due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo. (The Developing Human, Moore, 5th ed., p. 65.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)
So the three meanings of the word alaqah correspond accurately to the descriptions of the embryo at the alaqah stage.
The next stage mentioned in the verse is the mudghah stage. The Arabic word mudghah means “chewed substance.” If one were to take a piece of gum and chew it in his or her mouth and then compare it with an embryo at the mudghah stage, we would conclude that the embryo at the mudghah stage acquires the appearance of a chewed substance. This is because of the somites at the back of the embryo that “somewhat resemble teethmarks in a chewed substance.”6 (see figures 5 and 6).
Figure 5: Photograph of an embryo at the mudghah stage (28 days old). The embryo at this stage acquires the appearance of a chewed substance, because the somites at the back of the embryo somewhat resemble teeth marks in a chewed substance. The actual size of the embryo is 4 mm. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 82, from Professor Hideo Nishimura, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.)
Figure 6: When comparing the appearance of an embryo at the mudghah stage with a piece of gum that has been chewed, we find similarity between the two.
A) Drawing of an embryo at the mudghah stage. We can see here the somites at the back of the embryo that look like teeth marks. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 79.)
B) Photograph of a piece of gum that has been chewed.

How could Muhammad have possibly known all this 1400 years ago, when scientists have only recently discovered this using advanced equipment and powerful microscopes which did not exist at that time? Hamm and Leeuwenhoek were the first scientists to observe human sperm cells (spermatozoa) using an improved microscope in 1677 (more than 1000 years after Muhammad ). They mistakenly thought that the sperm cell contained a miniature preformed human being that grew when it was deposited in the female genital tract.7
Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore8 is one of the world’s most prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology and is the author of the book entitled The Developing Human, which has been translated into eight languages. This book is a scientific reference work and was chosen by a special committee in the United States as the best book authored by one person. Dr. Keith Moore is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. There, he was Associate Dean of Basic Sciences at the Faculty of Medicine and for 8 years was the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy. In 1984, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists. He has directed many international associations, such as the Canadian and American Association of Anatomists and the Council of the Union of Biological Sciences.
In 1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor Moore said: “It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God.”9 (To view the RealPlayer video of this comment click here ).
Consequently, Professor Moore was asked the following question: “Does this mean that you believe that the Quran is the word of God?” He replied: “I find no difficulty in accepting this.”10
During one conference, Professor Moore stated: “....Because the staging of human embryos is complex, owing to the continuous process of change during development, it is proposed that a new system of classification could be developed using the terms mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah (what Muhammad said, did, or approved of). The proposed system is simple, comprehensive, and conforms with present embryological knowledge. The intensive studies of the Quran and hadeeth (reliably transmitted reports by the Prophet Muhammad’s companions of what he said, did, or approved of) in the last four years have revealed a system for classifying human embryos that is amazing since it was recorded in the seventh century A.D. Although Aristotle, the founder of the science of embryology, realized that chick embryos developed in stages from his studies of hen’s eggs in the fourth century B.C., he did not give any details about these stages. As far as it is known from the history of embryology, little was known about the staging and classification of human embryos until the twentieth century. For this reason, the descriptions of the human embryo in the Quran cannot be based on scientific knowledge in the seventh century. The only reasonable conclusion is: these descriptions were revealed to Muhammad from God. He could not have known such details because he was an illiterate man with absolutely no scientific training.”11 (View the RealPlayer video of this comment ).
