[...] guess the fact that having extra teeth has a name (supernumerary) and definition should have tipped me [...]

Liz, not having wisdom teeth would have been really nice. I had to have all of them removed. As I believe most people do, because there is not room for them.

It is my thought that most people have genetic mutations. But unless there is some reason to know about them; we never would. The supernumerary teeth I had were totally harmless. They fell out. And except that I needed to ask about DD, would probably have never come up. Like your mom not having wisdom teeth. That’s lucky. But we probably would have never talked about it.

I may have read about having an extra set of teeth, but it was truly in one of those lectures, “where this hardly ever happens.” I’d've like to have seen your xrays as a child.

My mother didn’t have any wisdom teeth. I did not receive that gene unfortunately.

She also has three optic nerves. I didn’t get that mutation either.
