Wisdom teeth?

I am 22 years old and my wisdom teeth have never grown in. Will I get them when I get older or do some people just not get them?

Wisdom teeth?
u cud get them a li'l later.actually i've seen wisdom teeth comin out in people as old as 56yrs.so u have lotsa time! ;) for some people,the wisdom tooth is stuck in the bone of the jaw.sometimes tilted,sometimes horizontal.these shudn't bother u unless thy're inclining on a good tooth.if ur concerned,get a full mouth x ray or an OPG done to locate thm n thn ur dentist can decide what needs to be done.there have been cases where the wisdom tooth just isn't there in the mouth.if u are one of those people,lucky you! :)
Reply:They can come in later but sometimes if they do they are very impacted because by the time you're 25 they have grown roots making them much harder to remove. Ask your dentist. He can see whether they will be a problem from an xray.
Reply:Have you ever had a panoramic x-ray? It's an x-ray of your whole mouth. If you have any wisdom teeth that have not come through the bone yet, this x-ray will show you. Some people don't develop wisdom teeth. Just evolution. We don't need them anymore like our ancestors did. I only had three wisdom teeth develop and I'm 23. Two of them never erupted into my mouth, so even if you do have them in your jaw, there is a chance they will never erupt.
