YES! Wisdom teeth can show up when you least expect them. I only have one set of them, and they started sometime in my early 20's.. then stopped. Now I'm in my mid-30's, and to this day, they are still coming in. Every 6-8 months they will get super sore and they will come in a little more, and then go dormant. It's been consistent my entire life since I got them.. So yes.. they can erupt at any time.. unfortunately!!!

Wisdom teeth can erupt any time, though the earliest age this might happen is about 16 yo. The younger you are when they are extracted the better because the bone is not as dense. At 32, you should have an xray taken (panoramic) to see the position of the teeth and have it extracted if it is putting pressure on adjacent teeth. Many people have wisdom teeth that maintain their position deep in the bone and never cause a problem, thus never need to be extracted.

Yes! I got mines in at 25. My sister at around the same time. My brother at 30. Friends at 28 and 31. Just get a xray to see if you need to get them out, don't want ur teeth to overcrowd or impacted. =) Good luck!

JOE,
SINCE MOST GET THEIR WISDOMS IN BETWEEN 17-24 YEARS OF AGE, THIS IS OUT OF THE NORM, BUT NOT OUT THE POSSBILITY.
