A member asked:

Is it normal to get your wisdom teeth at 13?

Not uncommon: We are seeing our younger generation physically mature at an earlier age now. It is not uncommon to see some patients at the age of 13 with wisdom teeth that are more developed than in previous years. Whether or not they should be removed at that age will depend on what type of problems the patient is experiencing.

No: Not common. Sometimes parents mistake the second molar (wisdom tooth is 3rd molar) for the wisdom tooth. If you are not certain, best advice is to have youth evaluated by an oral surgeon for exam/recommendations.
