Some people's wisdom teeth don't even come out believe it or not. And some people also don't even have wisdom teeth.
I'd say, by age 23, if you don't have them, then go to your dentist.
Good luck =)

Your wisdom teeth may be impacted, which means that the molars next to them are blocking them from emerging. Sometimes when that happens the gums get sore for a few days once in a while when the wisdom teeth try to push through. Usually impacted wisdom teeth are surgically removed to prevent damage to the adjacent teeth -- no fun -- but sometimes they can be left in place under the gums. A few lucky people are born without them. A dental x-ray is the only way to be sure what your situation is.

With some people it takes a long time for the wisdom teeth to grow in. Talk to your dentist and get X-rays of your jaw to get a clearer picture of what's happening.

Everyone is different and a few people don't get them.
