History

Holy Molar are a San Diego-based band formed in 2001. The band consisted of vocalist Mark McCoy (under the stage name Mark McMolar), guitarist Gabe Serbian, bassist Justin Pearson, drummer Maxamillion Avila and keyboardist Bobby Bray. The band dressed in white lab coats, medical masks, and sometimes appeared spattered with blood. [2]

The band released a live album in 2001, titled Live at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. In 2003, the band released their first album The Whole Tooth and Nothing but the Tooth. The band had additionally issued a split with Ex Models in 2004 and an EP, Cavity Search, in 2007. [3]

The band had never officially disbanded, leaving their record label, Three One G to state, "As for Holy Molar, the project has never officially disbanded—you never know, perhaps one day it will emerge from the depths, bringing with it its trademark bursts of shrieks and screams, much like a cavity left unattended or a bad root canal."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Wisdom tooth</span> Large tooth at the back of the human mouth

A third molar, commonly called wisdom tooth, is one of the three molars per quadrant of the human dentition. It is the most posterior of the three. The age at which wisdom teeth come through (erupt) is variable, but this generally occurs between late teens and early twenties. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, one in each of the four quadrants, but it is possible to have none, fewer, or more, in which case the extras are called supernumerary teeth. Wisdom teeth may get stuck (impacted) against other teeth if there is not enough space for them to come through normally. Impacted wisdom teeth are still sometimes removed for orthodontic treatment, believing that they move the other teeth and cause crowding, though this is not held anymore as true. Impacted wisdom teeth may suffer from tooth decay if oral hygiene becomes more difficult. Wisdom teeth which are partially erupted through the gum may also cause inflammation and infection in the surrounding gum tissues, termed pericoronitis. Some more conservative treatments, such as operculectomies, may be fitting for some cases, yet impacted wisdom teeth are commonly extracted as treatment for these problems, many times before these problems, which might never happen, even occur. Some oppose this prophylactic removal of disease-free impacted wisdom teeth, including among them the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the UK.
