Hi! I was just wondering, by what age do your wisdom teeth usually come in? I'm not worried about it or anything, just curious. I'm 23 and mine haven't started to come in at all, but some of my friends have already had to have theirs pulled. What about people on here? What age were you when yours came in?

Mine started when I was 18.. Some people do have less than 4, and even no wisdom teeth... so if they never show up, no worries.

Usually they come in during the late teen years or early 20s. Some people don't have them, and many people never need them pulled. I don't remember when mine came in, but I had them pulled when I was 23. If you don't have them consider yourself lucky - it SUCKS to have them pulled!

jillianleab is right, some people don't have wisdom teeth. If there is room they usually come in between 18 and 21. If there is not enough room for them they won't come in at all or may partially erupt. Your dentist should take a Panoramic x-ray to see if and how many wisdom teeth you have and what position they are in if you do have them.

... be grateful. Extremely.. grateful.

I completely agree with her you should get opg done and only then one can come to know how much wisdom one has got... ha ha ha ha ha ha

Hey I'm 23 and no wisdom teeth ether. Never had any problems but I do not have room for them my teeth are tight as it is. So that may be why.

At the age of 21 my wisdom teeth came in. I had the top left one pulled out after it started to hurt my mouth.
