Question: Im 27 and i didnt have my wisdom teeth...is this normal?
I only got 8 molars...is it normal thing not to have your wisdom teeth

Answers:

Breathe. Yes. It's perfectly normal. :)

Now, did you have xrays taken to see if, in fact, you do have wisdom teeth, but they are impacted (meaning that they are below the gumline)? Some patients (in a sense) "hit the lottery" in that after taking xrays, they have no wisdom teeth. Period. Some only have three. Some only have one, etc.

Unless you are in pain (assuming your answer is yes to have taken the xrays and seen that they are below the gumline), or you are going to get your teeth straightened, don't worry about it. There are many adults out there whose wisdom teeth have never errupted and that the wisdom teeth are not harming the other teeth in anyway.

If your concern is still there, go see an oral surgeon. Wisdom teeth is one of their specialties.

Im 33. between 21 and 27 I grew an extra set of molars. I dont know if those are wisdom teeth but they came in fairly straight. I think only some people have problems with them. I think your dental xrays could tell you more.



It's not common, but it isn't a bad thing, Believe me, getting your wisdom teeth taken out is no fun, so consider yourself lucky for not having any!



We can't quite comprehend what you need answered. Would you explain in greater detail? Thanks much.

Clarity.



Not everyone has wisdom teeth, only certain people get them.



lol im 17 and i had my wisdom teeth 2 years ago!
