Question:
Answers:
Usually, wisdom teeth are erupted in the late teens/early twenties. If yours have not erupted, but you're feeling discomfort, go to your dentist. The only way you're going to know what is happening is by having an xray. You could have impacted molars, cysts. a whole range of things. Only your dentist can tell you this. However, not all people have all of their wisdom teeth (I have none. they are congenitally missing). So. again, only a dentist will be able to tell you how many wisdom teeth you have, if they are going to grow in and if there are any problems. Request a panoramic xray.

about 35 or 39
I know the feeling. Mine have been coming in for 2 years now, and i still only have the 2, which arent all the way in yet anyways. I am 25 now so by the time i get all 4 i figure it will be time for dentures anyways.. lol good luck check w/ your parents and find out their ages at which their wisdom teeth grew in. My mom had one grow in when she was 34. I was like my dad, had them in early 20s
There really isn't an age. they start coming in later in life. The later the life, the younger the body. Be happy. you are much younger than your age.
Wisdom teeth don't always protrude from the gums. Many times, they're embedded and grow forward, pushing other teeth and crowding them. If they are bothering you, I suggest you have them removed by a dentist. Now, not everyone gets wisdom teeth, but your dentist will have an x-ray done and then he'll know if you have all yours. Hope you feel better.
normal Wisdom teeth (3rd molars) can "grow in" in the late teens or later. While rare, there have been cases where a 3rd molar started to grow in at late ages (40's, 50's and up).
It is not unusual to have less than all 4 wisdom teeth (I'm 47 and I have none). Your parents wisdom teeth situations are usually a good indicator of what you can expect (a mixed bag in my case - my mother had all 4 by the time she was 22, my father had none).
The development of wisdom teeth can shift and crowd the other teeth, sometimes quite seriously. If you are experiencing discomfort - SEE A DENTIST!
