Hi, lately i just had my 2 wisdom tooth extracted, it was so big which was like normal teeth, i'm not sure if the dentist had lied to me. One of the wisdom tooth look so much alike a normal big tooth but she claimed it's wisdom tooth. The prices of extracting a normal tooth and wisdom tooth has a big difference....Is there any way to tell the difference or pics? I still got 2 more wisdom tooth to be extracted but it really look like a big teeth to me....How many teeth does a adult should have?? Pls help....Tysm for replies

Some ppl don't have any wisdom teeth at all! Like me. But people can have up to 4 wisdom teeth. Here is a picture of one: http://i13.tinypic.com/536fk7o.jpg
Reply:Wisdom teeth are normal teeth. The reason that they are called wisdom teeth is because they don't emerge until you are in your twenties, by which time you are supposed to be wise. They are the final four teeth at the very back of your mouth. Don't have them removed unless they are causing you problems. There's no reason. Once they come in, you should have 32 teeth total.
Reply:The wisdom teeth are your very very back teeth. They are the same size as a molar tooth. Which means they are big. You should have 32 teeth. 4 of them are wisdom teeth. The only way you can teeth the difference is by telling with your finger in your mouth to see if it is the last one....you should have 3 big molars including the wisdom tooth if the tooth has come thru the gum and is not impacted. Also if you know what you are looking at look at the xrays...request to. They will show you the three big molars on the xrays. The price difference is because wisdom teeth are much harder to extract.
Reply:I doubt very seriously they are gonna lie about removing a wisdom tooth. I have never heard of anyone doing that before. If they were the ones in the very back of your mouth they were your wisdom.
Reply:CHILL DOWN. THE DENTIST DIDN'T LIE TO YOU. IF SHE PULLED OUT A WISDOM TOOTH THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. THESE ARE BIGGER THAN BABY TEETH. DON'T WORRY.
