You're most likely seeing your second molars, also called your "twelve-year molars" because that's when most folks (yourself included) get them. If you start by calling one of your two front teeth "one" and count back, they're the seventh tooth on each side. Wisdom teeth are also called "third molars" and they're more likely to show up in your mouth in your late teens if you see them at all. Many third molars remain unerupted or impacted, which is why they often need to be removed.

Many 12-year-olds have no baby teeth remaining. Sounds like you're perfectly normal. :)

Those are your 12 year molars. :)
