Really depends on your dentist. I got mine pulled at 17. My dentist is 40 and he's never had his pulled

They do come in when they want. Its a wierd thing. The best thing to do is have them removed when they are comming in as to wait. I had 2 on one side removed surgically when I was about 20. I was tols to get them all removed but I wanted to be able to chew on 1 side of my mouth. I was 40 when I removed a lower right one after it broke,which left a crater in my gum. Then 47 when I got the last rotten one pulled and it didnt leave a crater. They are conical teeth and easilly pulled and useless. Try chewing ice with a wisdom tooth..it hurts. They break and get brittle and it is best to get them removed at a young age as soon as they start comming in.

depends on the person but I always heard before your 25 is best. You heal better.

it really depends. my friends got them in high school, college, and me i got them when i was 26. some people don't have them at all. so it really depends, maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones.
