Will or wont i get wisdom teeth?

Question

Well, i'm 15, and when i was at the Orthodontist last time my mother was talking to the doctor and i wasn't really paying attention, but when i started to pay attention again this is what i heard of the conversation

Doctor: "Ok, the X-Rays look fine, and if you will look here there aren't any coming wisdom teeth"

Me: "So will I actualy get them?" *has no idea WTH wisdom teeth are*

Doctor: *turns to face me* "You wont!"

Me: *Am i supposed to be happy or sad?* "And why is that?"

Doctor: "<something i can't understand, then something about (i think) me being a higher evolution than most humans, so i'm not going to get wisom teeth"

I now know from research that wisdom teeth are the third set of molars you get at around the age of 20, and they are usualy removed, but i want to know; Why am i not going to get them? Is it even possible for me to not get them?

Please tell me, because my mother didn't understand and i have no bloody idea what's going on!

Answer 1

Plenty of people don&#039;t get them coming through at all.

I think my dad said he never had his come through, I don&#039;t think my brother has either.

It&#039;s perfectly normal.

Answer 2

Be happy. Most people with them get them removed &#039;round 16... my friend got hers at 12. it hurts alot..lucky!

Answer 3

be happy you wont get them. its completely normal not to get them.

When i was 17 the dentist told me that all 4 of mine were compacted and i would have a lot of problems with them later in life. And he was right, I had to have all 4 removed because they were JUST above the gum line and they stopped. Was a major hassle and all.

So yeah be glad :P

Answer 4

you are a lucky person. Very few people dont get wisdom teeth. Genetically it has not grown or it will be visible on the x ray.
