The last molar right at the back of the mouth
is called a wisdom tooth, because you are
supposed to be wise by the time you have it.
The 4 wisdom teeth appear much later, usually
after the age of 17. Many people get only a
few of the wisdom teeth. So most adults have
between 28 and 32 teeth.
The next day was Saturday and Tania was
visiting her grandparents in the evening.
Tania showed grandma and grandpa her shaking
tooth. Grandpa said, "Tania, we can tie one
end of a thread to that lose tooth and the
other end to the door knob. Then we can slam
the door shut and your tooth will come off.
Then it wont bother you any more."
