Is this a wisdom tooth?!


Question: Is this a wisdom tooth?
I've already have my wisdom teeth grow out in the back. I'm only 13. Okay, and now another pair of teeth are growing but its not in the back. It's 1 tooth back from my canine teeth. And it really irritates my gums. And my teeth are a big so my mouth is really crowded and there is no room for it to grow. Will it grow out sideways? Also I'm gonna get braces in 6 months. And they are gonna pull out my back wisdom teeth (button & top) My older sister hasn't had these front wisdom teeth grow in her mouth yet and she is older than me. I mean I beat my sister by growing my back wisdom teeth first too. Is there something wrong with me? Also is this even a "front wisdom teeth"? I feel like an idiot saying it. Haha XD

Answers:

I know a person who has 65 teeth (most people have 32) She has two sets of adult teeth and one extra random tooth popping out behind her canine.

It's not too uncommon for people to have extra teeth. It's not really a "front wisdom tooth" , it's probably just a random extra tooth.

You probably had your 12-year-old molars grow in, not your wisdom teeth. And now your wisdom teeth are coming in.

Look in the mirror. See your upper two front teeth? Choose a side and count from that tooth to the back of your mouth.

There should be...

1. central (that big one in the middle)
2. lateral (the one next to the big one)
3. canine (the pointy one)
4. bicuspid
5. another bicuspid
6. 1st molar
7. 12-year-old molar
8. wisdom tooth

Ignore the random tooth behind your cuspid as you're counting.
