i got a tooth coming through at the very bacl meft hand side of my mouth and i think its a widsom tooth, but am i too young to start growing them? it doesnt hurt or anything but my dad had to have all his taken out when he was younger cos they were growing side ways. i have raised bumps at the others corners in my mouth where i think other wisdom teeth will come through

Answer:

Normal range for wisdom teeth is 18-25 but they can be anything from 14-114.

Best thing would be to go and see your dentist, at 14 it will be free.

A radiograph may be necessary to show which way they are growing under the gums.

It is normal for them to start coming through at your age so don't worry. see your dentist if you are concerned and they will advise you whether you need them taken out or not. I'm 34 and having one out next week. Wish me luck!

It could be, I had mine taken out when I was 16. Although they hadn't come through yet, I had all 4 cut out because my jaw was too small for them to come through ... yuck!

Go to a dentist and have them looked at, then you'll know for sure.

Wisdom teeth normally grow between ages 17-24 but are sometimes grown before or afrer these ages. So yes its quite possible you have grown a wisdom tooth.
