i pretty sure that it is normal. If it isn't then i'm right there with you. i'm 23 and my haven't come in either. Sometimes, they come in but never break the surface. they may have come in sideways and it just doesn't bother you. You could always go to you dentist but if you like me, you only go when you have been in pain for days and there are no other options.

Get an x-ray. My wisdom teeth never "showed up" so the dentist took x-rays.
He said to me, "The good news is that you only have three wisdom teeth because the bad news is that you need to have them removed." My wisdom teeth were angled into the roots of the neighboring teeth.
You also may not have wisdom teeth. As I mentioned, I only had three wisdom teeth.

Dont worry about it some people never get them in. I had my lower ones taken out years ago and my tops ones just came in but they are not crowding so no reason to take them out. If your teeth are straight and not causing you any pain then you are lucky dont worry about it.

I only had two that came in. I have one that hasn't surfaced yet, and is not causing any problem. It just shows up on my dental x-rays. I am 37 and have never had a problem with my wisdom teeth.
Good luck to you.

Your dentist can see them in radiography, maybe they are included in bone or they aren't here, sometimes it happens.

WINTER,
DID YOUR DENTIST EXPLAIN THAT YOU IN FACT HAVE SOME OR NOT. THERE ARE CASES WHERE THESE NEVER ARE PRESENT AT ALL. IF THIS IS SO COUNT YOURSELF VERY FORTUNATE. ;-)
