at age 12 i grew 4 new teeth in the back of my mouth...you know. where the gum is at the way end....anyways....
so now i have 28 total....why where the tooth growing from the gum area in the back??...
i didnt even take my teeth out in that area...
first i thought they were wisdom teeth.
..but i thought maybe not because a full grown adult has 32 teeth and i only have 24.

It is all normal for you for having 28 teeth in this age.
As you grow mature you mouth will be bigger and have space for the new teeth, that is why you are finding you new teeth in the back of the gums.
Wisdom teeth may appear anywhere between 20-40 years of age or may not appeat at all.
Since wisdom tooth dont help in eating, they are not important at all.

Don't worry. You're perfectly normal. Your pattern of eruption is within normal range. Also,you'll find your wisdom teeth coming in later on (between 17-21yrs old) or maybe you won't. Keep in mind, not everyone have all four of their wisdom teeth so don't freak out if you don't have your wisdom teeth in the future.

it's just a stage all of us undergo. so maybe all of us have these sort of times, i learned the alphabet when i was 2 years old and that was very disturbing, so maybe you should take it in, tell the world you're not afraid to face challenges or anything it takes you

i know many people with this problem including myself.in fact, most of the people that i know have less than 32 teeth.i think that this is normal but you should ask a dentist for the real answer...
