I do not know why i don't have my wisdom teeth. there is plenty of room for them, they just haven't appeared. I take extremely good care of my teeth and have a very good diet. i am on no medication and i don't smoke, drink or do drugs. can anyone shed light on this matter?

People are different. They may never come in, which is actually a good thing. In most cases, wisdom teeth cause extreme pain when coming in... and when getting pulled out. Get an x-ray done to see what's going on. Remember to go to regular checkups to keep an eye on them.
Good luck!

Are you saying they are not even there to come in? If so good! Don't worry about it some people don't ever get their wisdom teeth, and in my opinion they are the lucky ones. If you are saying they are there and just wont come in. If they are not causing you any problems don't worry about them. It's when they start causing you problems, or your dentist says he would like them to come out. Then your dentist will help you make the arrangements.

It's probably okay. I'm eighteen and I'm missing four teeth, so I'll have to get implants later. Also, so far the dentist can only see one of my wisdom teeth. Maybe you're lucky and just missing them.

In most people, they are impacted, that is, they are laying sideways pressing on the roots of the teeth in front of them. If you haven't gotten them in by 27, they are either not there, or impacted. Go to a dentist or dental surgeon and have them take a look.

Not everyone has them. You probably don't. My brother has all 4 of his. I only have 2. My sister has none. It's all genetics.

They could come in later. It isn't anything to worry about. Mine had to be taken out.

NOT EVERYBODY GETS THEM ALL. SOMETIMES LIKE IN YOU 4 ARE MISSING. CONSIDER YOUSELF BLESSED.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG HERE.
I, PERSONALLY HAD JUST 3 NOT 4, LUCKY ME!
