Explanation:
Wisdom teeth, also known as molars, can be found at the very back of your mouth and are usually the last teeth to develop. These teeth were once used to help our ancestors catch and consume prey. Now, our modern jaw structure rarely provides room for wisdom teeth, and this can lead to issues such as cysts, tooth decay, tooth erosion and infection.
Wisdom teeth, also known as molars, can be found at the very back of your mouth and are usually the last teeth to develop. These teeth were once used to help our ancestors catch and consume prey. Now, our modern jaw structure rarely provides room for wisdom teeth, and this can lead to issues such as cysts, tooth decay, tooth erosion and infection.Anthropologists believe wisdom teeth, or the third set of molars, were the evolutionary answer to our ancestor’s early diet of coarse, rough food – like leaves, roots, nuts and meats – which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth. The modern diet with its softer foods, along with marvels of modern technologies such as forks, spoons and knives, has made the need for wisdom teeth nonexistent. As a result, evolutionary biologists now classify wisdom teeth as vestigial organs, or body parts that have become functionless due to evolution.

Answer:
A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct an actual problem or to prevent problems that may come up in the future. ... When this happens, your wisdom teeth are unable to break through your gums. In some cases, your wisdom teeth may break partway through your gums, causing a flap of gum tissue to grow over them.
