I have extra teeth are coming through: are they molars or wisdom teeth?

The same: Wisdom teeth are third molars, but you may have some supernumerary teeth. Visit a dentist for a full face xray to assess for room and which teeth they are.

Depends: Usually wisdom teeth (also called 3rd molars). Best bet is to see an oral surgeon for exam/recommendations.

It depends: primarily on where the teeth are located. Very far to the back of your mouth they could be wisdom teeth but sometimes long-impacted other teeth will erupt unexpectedly in later life. Get to a dentist for an evaluation. As others have said all wisdom teeth are molars but not all molars are wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth: If you lost your teeth, the wisdom teeth would be extra teeth that come in and function like normal molar teeth.
