Wisdom teeth?

Question

How old r u when u get wisdom teeth and does everybody get them and if u get them pulled b4 they fully come in, will they still make the rest of ur teeth crooked.

Answer 1

i believe mine came in at age 21 somewhere around there, and it really depends on if u have room for them, when mine came in i couldn't even open my mouth because of the way they were growing in, other ppl i knew never got theirs in and then others had no problem with them. if u have room for them then it won't change the way your teeth are now but if u dont' then your teeth will possibly shift

Answer 2

Not everyone gets wisdom teeth or they might not get all 4 of them and that's still considered normal. They usually come in between the ages of 15 and 20. Your dentist will be able to tell if you have room in your jaw for your wisdom teeth and take appropriate action if you do not which of course means taking them out.

Answer 3

Well I was about 19 or 20 when mine came in they never actually came in because they were impacted. Everyone gets them. Some people are too scared to have them removed so they keep them but they will rot the other teeth. I had braces before and when my wisdom teeth came in impacted it pushed them and made them crooked again. If there is room in your jaw I guess you could keep them. My bf kept his, I had to have mine surgically removed.

Answer 4

Wisdom teeth may or may not come in. Many people, my wife is one, have their wisdom teeth in their gums, under their second teeth, they never came through. They seem to be O.K., she's had them X-Rayed several times, as Long as you don't have any trouble, don't worry.
I almost forgot, about 18 to 20 years old, there also called the 20 year molars.

Answer 5

Well, Hmmmm??? I got mine when I was 16, my daughter 18, my son hasn't gotten his yet and he's 19 going on 20. They don't always grow in fully. They can go back "in" a few times. They can cause damage to your other teeth before they come in fully. Talk to your dentist. You don't want to cause other problems waiting too long. I also know of a few people who never needed or had them removed. I believe those people are few and far between.

Answer 6

Your wisdom teeth usually come in about age 17-24. Yes it's best to get them out ASAP if they're causing problems.

I waited until I was in my mid 40s to have them removed and THAT was NOT nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
