But while\u00a0many people have one to four wisdom teeth, some people don&#8217;t have any at all. Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars in the back of your mouth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-what-are-wisdom-teeth\" class=\"has-pale-pink-background-color has-background wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are wisdom teeth?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wisdom teeth are also known as third molars. They are the last teeth to grow in the mouth, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. However, in some cases, people can have them much later in life, even in their 30s or 40s. They are located at the very back of the mouth, behind the other teeth, and near the jaw bone. Molar teeth are often called &#8220;third molars&#8221; because they come in toward the end of your oral development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43568\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7Aug-edited.jpg\" alt=\"wisdom tooth extraction recovery\" width=\"436\" height=\"436\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are located at the very back of the mouth, behind the other teeth, and near the jaw bone. They can be impacted, impacted, or un-erupted. Impacted wisdom teeth remain trapped inside the gum tissue, unerupted wisdom teeth are unable to break through the gum tissue and emerge into the mouth, and impacted wisdom teeth are a combination of the two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-why-do-some-people-have-wisdom-teeth-and-some-don-t\" class=\"has-pale-pink-background-color has-background wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do some people have wisdom teeth and some don\u2019t?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all start with four sets of teeth: two sets of deciduous teeth (baby teeth) and two sets of permanent teeth. The deciduous teeth disappear and are replaced by permanent teeth. The first teeth to appear are the deciduous teeth, and the last to appear are the wisdom teeth. People have deciduous teeth as infants and early toddlers, and permanent teeth after the early teens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill has-background\" style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg,#fcb900 84%,#ff6900 100%); grid-template-columns: 41% auto;\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5372aae5-14ee-4f15-a19a-e0e8072bfcb9-900x900.jpg'); background-position: 50% 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" class=\"wp-image-4314 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5372aae5-14ee-4f15-a19a-e0e8072bfcb9-900x900.jpg\" alt=\"wisdom tooth extraction\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wisdom teeth are the third molars in the very back of our mouths and don&#8217;t always need to be removed so long as they&#8217;re healthy, grown in completely, biting correctly, and are able to be cleaned as part of regular hygiene practices.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When deciduous teeth are lost and replaced with permanent teeth, some people don&#8217;t have enough room for their wisdom teeth, so the teeth are removed.
