I had a peek and saw a tooth starting to grow through. At first I thought it was a wisdom tooth but it turns out its actually a 2nd molar! I thought these were supposed to grow through at about aged 11 (I am now 20). I had the exact same problem with my upper left 2nd molar although I no longer experience pain. Is it normal for someone of my age to have only just started to have her 2nd molars grow through? It seemed I was late to lose my baby teeth and my dentist said I still have one left. Is this normal?

KITTY,
SOME PEOPLE HOLD ON TO THEIR FIRST SET OF TEETH EVEN THOUGH THE PERMANENT ONE HAVE ERUPTED. THE PERMANENT TEETH THESE POSITIONS NEVER DEVELOPED, SO THE PRIMARY TEETH ARE KEPT.
IF YOU'RE 20 THEN THESE MAY WELL BE THE THIRD MOLARS COMING IN. THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY KNOW IS TO HAVE DENTAL X-RAYS BY A DENTIST.

Yes because some peoples teeth are slow to develop because of high metabilism
