Question: Would an xray as a 15 or so yr old show potential wisdom teeth for definate!?
I had an xray when I was around 14/15/16 years ago and my dentist/ortho mentioned my lack of wisdom teeth, he said it as if I would never have any, can they know this for sure with xrays at that age!? I only ask as a few friends have been 'teething' with them recently and I don't think I could fit them in my mouth!
Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
They would have been visible on xrays at that time!. Some people don't even get them at all! My sister had gone in thinking her wisdom teeth were coming in (turned out to be sinus pressure) and xrays revealed that she didn't have any!.!.!. not just that they weren't coming in, she didn't form any at all!. If you don't have the room for them anyway, consider yourself very lucky that you don't have to go through the pain and expense of wisdom teeth!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im not a dentist but i am 17 and had my wisdom teeth at 14!. People as young as 12 or 13 get their wisdom teeth!. For some people however they never come in because there is no room!. Or they try to come in but only appear a little!. When they don't show at all they cant be removed!. but if they show a little then they cause pain and should get removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
