The premolars are the back teeth, which serve a dual function in chewing and esthetics. They function much like the canines in tearing and grinding food, but have a slightly different anatomic form. Premolars have angular facial cusps, while the lingual cusps of the maxillary premolars are round. They have a complex series of curves on the occlusal surface, which must be kept healthy for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of premolars is to break up food and blend it with saliva for easier digestion. The eight premolars make up the complete dentition. The first and second premolars are paired and are located between the canines and the molars. The first one is the most prominent, with two cusps at its crown. The second premolars are located behind the first one. The secondary premolars have two or three cusps and are often found in groups of two teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to their position on the front teeth, the premolars are important for chewing food. In addition to the canines, these teeth serve as anchors for the other teeth. Children's permanent lower canines appear between age nine and twelve, with the upper canines emerging a little before the lower ones. Premolars are much larger than incisors, and have multiple ridges. They also help chew food and are responsible for the emergence of the molars, the last set of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The premolars are transitional teeth. They appear between the canines and the molars, and have at least two cusps. During chewing, the premolars grind up food and prepare it for digestion by the molars. The second set of premolars appears between ten and twelve years old. In general, the molars come in after the premolars, but are not present in infants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third set of teeth, the molars, are located in the back of the mouth. These teeth are also known as wisdom teeth. The third set of teeth, the third molar, erupts after the second set of premolars. These teeth are usually fused. A common way to remove wisdom teeth is surgical removal. In many cases, it is the best option. Despite their appearance, they can cause problems if left untreated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
