Ages of 15 and 24: Dentists typically recommend that wisdom teeth should be removed between the ages of 15 and 24 years. However, there is no set rule regarding a specific age. See your dentist for evaluation, x-ray and treatment if needed. Good luck.

Why Guess?: It might be your wisdom teeth, then again, it may not. See a local dentist who can examine your mouth and recommend the proper treatment.

Tooth pain: Have your parents take you to a dentist to find out the cause of your pain. It could be a wisdom tooth, decay, or infection causing your pain. Things will not get better with treatment.. Get to a dentist asap

Well: There is no specific age. If you have pain it has to be determined if it is cause by an impacted molar
