You may have heard the phrase, “the mouth is the gateway to the body,” but do you know how your mouth directly impacts your heart health? 

Appearance is everything today. We all yearn for the latest trends, always trying to look our best. We pay for expensive manicures, haircuts, and facials - but do we pay enough attention to our teeth? People tend to focus on other physical features to change, but why not our teeth? Our dental care is neglected on a daily basis.

Wisdom teeth are also known collectively as the third molar. This is a development that is experienced by most of us. You may be interested to know that the reason we end up calling this process as wisdom teeth is due to the fact that this is a phenomenon which happens when we have supposedly achieved some intelligence. Ideally, it is during the 17 to 25 year age group that people end up usually having their third molar coming through. As most people would know, wisdom teeth do most often than not require extraction. These types of teeth are usually extracted for two prime reasons. One well-known reason is that the teeth are impacted. The other reason is that teeth can be an issue if not extracted.
