They are usually removed from when you are 16-19. However, everyone is a little different, some people never have them removed and some people have them removed when they are even younger that 16. It should be noted that it is not something that is automatically done at a certain age. When you next go to the dentist mention it to them. They will probably already be likely to take an x ray and will be able to see if there is any growth of your wisdom teeth. If your tooth is impacted or is likely to be impacted they will either refer you on to a specialist or they will take it out themselves. If it is going to be a long time until you go to the dentist you should call them and speak to your dentist and find out their opinion in the matter. I have included a link which has a lot of good information on wisdom teeth.
