When a person is between the ages of sixteen and twenty, her wisdom teeth emerge (a process called eruption). These are the last teeth to do so. By the time they erupt, however, there is often too little room in the mouth. This results in a problem known as impaction. The molar becomes positioned under the gum tissue in a way that prevents it from emerging properly. This causes swelling and pain for the patient, and can lead to crowding issues once the tooth erupts.

Not everyone can afford to stay at home during the course of their pregnancy. For some, the income from their job is an essential component for making ends meet.

For these and other reasons, millions of women continue to work while pregnant – some, up until a few days prior to their delivery date. It’s a decision that should not be taken lightly.
