Wisdom teeth
At what age does a person usually get thier wisdom teeth? I'm 26 and last year I got one on top, but that's all. Do they come on the bottom also?
Answer:okay so you were asking if you also have wisdom on bottom... i cant answer that precisely if i dont have an xray to diagnose you, anyways mostly for adults they do have 4 wisdom teeth 2 on top and 2 on the bottom which makes the whole 32 sets of teeth for an adult. anyways in some cases there are some that can only have 3 wisdom, some are 2 and some are 1 and to be honest with you, some even have no wisdom teeth at all. i have seen cases like that. best thing for you to do is if your going to your dentist ask them if they can take an xray if all your wisdom teeth area which is on the very backside of your mouth.. this way they can diagnose you and tell you exactly what to do, some general dentist if they see the xray they will tell you if they can do it or not. if they do it they be happy and then if not... dont be upset their main concern is that they fell more comfortable if the specialist can do the procedure since the oral surgeon (specialist for wisdom teeth extractions, dento facial recronstructive surgery etc..) and experts with this field, they are well trained for this procedure and their practice is mostly limited to that. you can also ask your dentist if they can take panoramic xray coz you can also see your full dentition there more better. which mostly oral surgeons has it. hope this piece of advise help you.. best way to go is talk to your dentist and tell your concerns im pretty much sure that they can help you with your concerns/problems.. till here take care and good luck
They can come in on the bottom. You could get none in your life or you could get 4. A few years ago I got one on the bottom. Your dentist will only remove them if they bother you.
I'm 33 and am still having problems with mine. I only have 3 so far. Sometimes they just come in late (like in our case). Usually it is sooner though.
yes there should be four wisdom teeth, two on top and two on bottom. They come in when they are ready. If your mouth hurts it could be caused by your wisdom teeth being impacted.
2 on top, 2 on bottom. My husband's 30 and doesn't have his yet. I got mine at 20 and had them removed immediately b/c my mouth was too small & they were coming in crooked.
Everyone is different when it comes to this. I got all four (top and bottom) by the time I was 18. I ignored my dentist's advice about getting them pulled then. When I was 25, they became impacted and caused a lot of pain. So, I had to have them removed then which was not pleasant.
