Im glad i looked at this in the morning and not right before bed.
These images always seem a little weird to me. Is the outer layer of bone in the cheeks and jaw carved away to show the teeth, or does it just grow over at some point later in life? Because there are no giant gaps in a normal adult skull.
Looking at the last image it seems like the outer layer has been removed to show the teeth inside
Yes, the outer layer is removed. Look at the ABC-pictures above; the left side is untouched, showing how it normally looks.
I hope it was worth it, just to get these pics
Are adult teeth full grown though, or do kids grow them from small tooth buds in the jaw?
Do you mean before birth already? Every part of a kid is full grown.
Dentist mentioned my son had toothbuds and we were watching progress on xrays to see if they'd fully form. But maybe he was referring to the roots
Maybe wisdom teeth?
It was when he was around 10, so I don't think it was Wisdom teeth. It was so long ago I forget.
Not today, thank you!
