No, a dog gets its puppy teeth and are replaced with all aldult teeth at one time, unlike humans who get 4 extra molars after 14 years.

Wisdom teeth only occur in people.
It is believed that wisdom teeth are from when humans were big meat eating hunters & had a bigger jaw ( like cavemen). They were useful for tearing & chewing large pieces of meat.
Now a days most people have to have them pulled because our modern jaws just don't have the room for our wisdom teeth any more.
I hope I answered your question. Good Luck!

distinct species strengthen more advantageous tooth later in existence. i'm no longer confident about dogs or cats fantastically. the aspect is, interior the wild they're going to in many circumstances lose a number of their tooth, so growing in additional advantageous tooth replaces misplaced ones. considering someone had the remarkable idea of brushing their tooth, we do not lose our tooth as a lot anymore, and so expertise tooth each so often do not slot interior the mouth.
