Is this abnormal? I thought people get wisdom teeth (I think its wisdom teeth) around this age or before.

2 options. Either 1) your teeth are impacted (under the gum line, must be surgically cut out). Mine were all impacted. If they erupted my teeth would have been pushed all around so i had to go to an oral surgeon and have them removed.
OR
2) you may not have developed wisdom teeth. That is called evolution. About 6 people in my class do not have wisdom teeth at all (not removed, they never developed/ missing teeth). It is normal.
The only way to know if you do not have wisdom teeth OR if they are impacted is to have xrays done at a dental office. Then the picture will show whether you have them or not. If you dont have them then you have no problem. If you have them, then you may need them removed.

This is very normal. Your wisdom teeth may never come through or they may come through soon. This is something your dentist usually watches if you had braces. They like to make sure that they are not pressing on your other back molars so that they don't press and make your teeth crooked again.
My wisdom teeth were actually cut out because they were starting to press on my back molars but they were still impacted.

I am 30 years old and have never had my wisdom teeth grow in. I had a dentist tell me that I have none in my head and that the lack of wisdom teeth can be hereditary.

I'm 25 and as far as I know haven't gotten mine yet. Last time I was at the dentist I asked him, he said some come in later in life and he thought my jaw is wide enough I may not have problems. My wife had hers taken out at 17, so I think everyone is just different.

as long as your expertise tooth are not bothering you, that is wonderful. some expertise tooth erupt many times, others do no longer yet nevertheless never reason any concern. you in basic terms prefer them extracted in the event that they reason issues, like soreness or infections or some thing. Eruption of your expertise tooth won't close the hollow in front. Extraction of expertise tooth is painless and hassle-free in recent times, would desire to that selection into needed (yet while they are no longer inflicting concern, do no longer problem—you could save them for an entire life).

yes. some get them later. some never get them. some have them, but they never come down. if you don't have any, there can still be a seed for them and that seed can actually decay and cause a cavitation. biologic dentists will know how to check for this. if you have them and they do not come down, sometimes they can decay in there and cause a cavitation. you should be checked for that.

They could just be impacted, and won't ever erupt. Visit your dentist. An x-ray will show their position.
