Not everyone has or gets wisdom teeth. I personally never had them in the first place, not one single wisdom tooth. My sister had two, my brother had one. My husband had two wisdom teeth, our eldest two- 23 and 24, have none. At 13 your wisdom teeth would not have appeared yet, they would not have started to develop at that age. The quickest way to get the answer for you is to visit your dentist and have an x-ray taken. If the teeth are there, they will show up on the x-ray. Then the dentist can advise you on what to do. If the teeth are present and will not come in properly, they are easily removed at that point, before they cause trouble. Until they are through the gums they do not form roots, and it's a real simple surgery. If you wait until they are impacted or infected, it can be a lot nastier. So go see the dentist now, and get your answers. Keep your fingers crossed- you might be among us fortunate ones that never get them to begin with.

I'm sure you have molars. I'm 18 and I got my wisdom teeth out last year and there was only one that was barely poking through. Have them show you your dental xrays if you would like to see them yourself.
Being put to sleep: It feels like a really strong 'force' and you can't fight it. It doesn't hurt at all and you cannot hear or feel anything. It's actually kind of fun lol

Some people don't have them taken out until they're 50. it's not required, relax.
