I just turned 17, and my wisdom teeth are already coming in...?!


Question: I just turned 17, and my wisdom teeth are already coming in...?
I have bits of wisdom teeth popping out. Does that mean they aren't impacted.

And isn't 17 a bit early for wisdom teeth? I've heard most people don't get them out until they're in their twenties.

Answers:

That is a perfectly normal time for them to come in. and radiographs can determine if they are coming in at an angle that will disrupt the occlusion of the rest of your teeth - in most cases, they are just pulled , especially if you have had orthodontic work and dont want them to make your straighetened teeth crooked again!
