Tried Everything Else, Try Homeopathy. An acronym born of desperation when a deteriorating patient (e.g., with cancer, advanced rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis or other chronic non-remitting, progressive diseases) is refractory to any form of therapy, thus justifying the use of any measure, however statistically ineffective it might be.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc.

teeth
The instruments of biting (incisors), tearing (canines) and grinding (molars) of food. There are 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth, but it is common for one or more of the third molars, at the back (the ‘wisdom teeth’) to remain within the gum (unerupted) until well into adult life. The permanent teeth are numbered, 1 to 8, from the centre, in each quadrant. A dentist might thus refer to an ‘upper right 3’ meaning the patient's top right canine tooth.Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005

A. i fail to see the connection between teeth and groin pain...about the teeth. it's very very simple- get used to a healthy oral hygiene. brush your teeth in the right way twice a day for at least 6 minute. use floss. go to a dental hygienist, she'll guide you through it.
Q. What are wisdom teeth? Why so many people talk about them and suffer from them?
A. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal. Wisdom teeth present potential problems when they are misaligned – they can position themselves horizontally, be angled toward or away from the second molars or be angled inward or outward. Poor alignment of wisdom teeth can crowd or damage adjacent teeth, the jawbone, or nerves. Wisdom teeth that lean toward the second molars make those teeth more vulnerable to decay by entrapping plaque and debris. In addition, wisdom teeth can be entrapped completely within the soft tissue and/or the jawbone or only partially break through or erupt through the gum.
