Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 24 (although they may appear when older, younger, or may not appear at all). They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth—this impaction is colloquially known as “coming in sideways.”[1] Most people have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more or fewer. Absence of one or more wisdom teeth is an example of hypodontia. Any extra teeth are referred to as supernumerary teeth.[2][3]
I know you were all wisdoming teething wikipedia. So I saved you the keystrokes, I know someone’s ‘w’ key isn’t working!!
I got mine out when I was 18. Wasn’t too bad at all, just sore and it took a while to eat normally.
