[QUOTE="LewisWildermuth, post: 186849, member: 2695"] Ahhh The third set of teeth! Iknow a little about this first hand because I had them. :D According to my dentist, yes this can happen, a lot of people but no where near a majority of people have "extra" tooth buds form at some point in life. I had about six removed when I was 14, the same time I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I know that seems young to have wisdom teeth pulled but mine were forming and impacting the other teeth worse than most people in their 20's the extra teeth were destroying the roots of the permanent teeth they were under too. That cost over 5000$ in 1985 dollars, it's much more now. One last one formed and actualy did erupt from the gum pointing sideways toward my tounge. I had it pulled shortly there after when I was 26. Now the problem with these extra teeth is that they rarely form uniformly in the mouth, mine sure didn't. They are often horribly deformed when they do erupt and are not as strong or usable as your permanent teeth. Another problem is that even if they were halfway well formed (my last one looked like a decent bicuspid but was in the premolar area of my mouth) the same process that loosens your baby teeth never happens again so if there are teeth in the way like mone still were they impact the roots of your permanent teeth (trust me this hurts like a constant migrane that never goes away until they are removed) and destroy both themselved and the permanent teeth. Now for most people, the extra teeth seem to stop growing and often dissolve after time, I was just not one of those lucky people. I suppose if I was 80 to 100 and had lost my permanent teeth already and few even badly deformed teeth popped back in would be neat. But in most people, like myself, where they don't dissolve early in formation they will hurt like heck, cost you thousands in dental costs to remove before they cause permanent damage if you catch them in time. A friend that had them but the dentist failed to notice them lost her job because of an unkown illness that left her constantly sick and with constant migrains. It cost her tens of thousands in cat scans of the brain and doctors bills as they tried to find out what was wrong. It was too late when they finnaly pinpointed the problem and she lost four permanent teeth because the extra teeth and they had ground eachother to dust in her gums. No they are not a benifit but a problem for most people in whom they continue to grow. [/QUOTE]
