I have no wisdom teeth come through yet but have two little white 'peaks' at the back on my lower set of teeth, also can feel a sharp corner emerging on my left upper side.
What are the signs of emerging wisdom teeth? How quick do they come through?
I get a sore mouth sometimes!

Yeah baby that's them, a lot of people complain of pains in their jaw and feel like their biting into the side of their cheek. A common complaint with Wisdom Teeth is a complaint called Periocoronitis, this is where the gum around the wisdom tooth becomes red and swollen, this is not always due to poor oral hygiene, as the wisdom tooth is so far back in the mouth it's difficult to get a toothbrush that far back, so food and debris came often get caught in the flap of gum where the tooth is erupting and cause this complaint.
Washing out with warm salty water can help as it will almost act as an antiseptic and wash all the debris away, normal pain killers will also help, i found Nurofen the best as they act as an anti inflammatory and will help reduce any swelling of the gum around the tooth.
Hope this has been of some help.

Sound's like that's them! They will take as long as they want I'm afraid some peoples never fully erupt if not at all! The Secret is to keep them and the gum surrounding them clean, alot of people get pain from gum problems around the wisdom teeth due to poor oral hygiene. Get a small headed tooth brush so it's easier to clean right at the back as there's not much room back there!

Sounds like they are coming through. From the stage where yours are now, it took about a year for mine to errupt fully - and it varies from person to person.
I never had any 'pain' as such, just a bit of aching sometimes.
When you next go to the dentist, you should ask him how they are doing - he may be able to take xrays to give you an indication of what will happen with them.
If you do get a very sore mouth, pick up some 'dentagel' - its available from Asda and independant pharmacies - I found it much mroe effective than bonjela. Massaging the gums can also help ease the pain.
