I have to get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow... I only have 3 of them, 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top left. I'm missing one on my top right for whatever reason. Just wondering, how common is it to be missing wisdom teeth (naturally)?

Apparently, it's fairly common. I never had any wisdom teeth at all.

It's actually fairly common to be missing one wisdom tooth. I don't have the numbers, but I'd guess that it happens over 10% of the time.

Hi, I'm 46 and I've only got one wisdom tooth. I don't think that it's at all uncommon for people not to get all of their wisdom teeth.

Yes it is very common to not have wisdom teeth. If you are missing one because it never grew, that is fine. My mom only had two.

Very common, and be thankful, that's one less you have to have pulled. Here is a freak of nature story- my neice was missing two on the bottom, my nephew had two extra on the bottom, and they are 4 years apart!

Same as you I have one missing, but on the bottom.
I have only had to have one on the top removed, because it tried to grow in.
I still have 2 left, and I'm 38 !!

this is a common thing. some people are born without them some even with 5. but it is in your favor, you only have to get 3 out. no worries!

I don't have any wisdom teeth. It isn't that uncommon. It's the next evolutionary step since we have no room for them, humans are genetically phasing them out.
