A member asked:
Can you tell me which are my wisdom teeth or 12 year old molars?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, with an xray: Wisdom teeth are generally the last teeth to erupt into the mouth in the very back corners behind the 12 year molars. At your age you may have 2 molars per quadrant or three molars(if wisdom teeth are in).

Best way...: ...Ask your dentist. 12yr molars are the 7th tooth back from the midline, wisdom teeth the 8th. Your dentist will be able to tell with a quick look or possibly an x-ray.
