On the Internet, a picture of the skull of the child was widely dispersed, in the jaw of which several rows of teeth are laid. We decided to check whether the photograph correctly reflects human anatomy.
Information And Entertaining Portals publish this and similar photos of a children's skull with several rows of teeth, such pictures sometimes include in collections incredible things. The image is also shared by users of social networks (""VKontakte" Facebook*, X), Platform blog And Video hostings, sites with jokes And memes.
Like some other mammals, people use two dials for life - the so -called Dairy and indigenous. The baby’s milk teeth begin to form in the womb, from six months of life they begin to erupt, and by three years in children, 20 milk teeth usually grow completely. At about six years they Start To fall out, and they are replaced by molars that developed in the jaw from the moment of birth. On average, by 21, a person has a full dentition of 32 teeth (although wisdom teeth are sometimes not erupted; in this case 28 teeth remain, which is also considered the norm).
Milk teeth fall out Due to the fact that under the pressure of the indigenous roots sitting in their jaws, roots are absorbed. Nevertheless, sometimes the indigenous tooth for one reason or another does not provide the desired pressure on its “predecessor” and because of this can cut it out incorrectly-in the wrong place, not at that angle, the second side (the so-called so-called Shark teeth) etc. In order to avoid the formation of improper bite, dentists sometimes Recommend Removing the milk tooth, even if it has not yet begun to stagger, but the signs of an early teething of the root already exist. So these permanent teeth are already formed in the jaw by six years, and do not begin to develop after the dashed of the dairy.
“Verified” could not find the source of the discharge photograph, but there is no reason to doubt its reality, even if it is not a real skull, but a reconstruction. In favor of the veracity of the picture, the fact that he is indirectly evidenced Found on many specialized dental portals. Before the eruption, the root teeth are waiting in their wings inside the jaw - something like that shown in the photo. Directly before and during the change of teeth, the jaw is indeed It looks In a similar way.

Rudiments of molars can be seen on Illustrations (for example, in the scientific work of dentists) or on X -ray pictures In the thematic literature (for example, in the manual "Histology and embryology for teeth hygiene"), And these images are not shocking as much as spreading on the Internet. However, in the collections of some Museums, such as the Khanterian Museum of Anatomical Samples in the UK, real children's skulls are also exhibited - the location of the teeth in the jaw looks very similar to the verified photo.
Thus, the indigenous teeth that are formed from birth, and usually begin to erupt only at the age of six, all this time develop in the jaw. Therefore, we can conclude that in the dispersed picture is not a photomonta and not any pathology-this is what a children's skull with a dentist that has not yet managed to change.
