English term or phrase: "cheese teeth"
Greetings,

I mean the teeth that sometimes develop in extreme old age, a third set after the milk teeth and the adult teeth.

This is a term that does not exist in English so I have had to borrow it from Turkish, where it does exist. I am assuming (correctly, I hope) that it is a known phenomenon in Georgia, where you have so many old people, perhaps thanks to the clear air.

Please see:
http://www.babylon.com/definition/Alterszähne/Turkish
Alterszähne = peynir dişleri

The German means literally “the teeth of (old) age”.
The Turkish means literally “cheese teeth”.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

PS Please give the pronunciation.

Explanation:
I found the definition of "cheese teeth" in urban dictionary online, according to which it is "the yellowest teeth known to man". If this is what it means, then in Georgian it should be "ჩაყვითლებული კბილები", meaning "teeth that have turned yellow" + it has a negative connotation and I am sure "cheese teeth" has the same.
