Not uncommon: More and more people are being born with out wisdom teeth. The human jaw (prehistoric humans) had plenty of room for the wisdom teeth to develop due to very large jaws. As man evolved, the jaw became smaller and hence that is why many wisdom teeth did not have room to erupt. (impacted.) now evolution seems to even be going the direction of wisdom teeth not even developing.

Absent Wisdom Teeth: Lucky to be you! Most of us have wisdom teeth and the majority will need extractions.

Not uncommon: It is not uncommon for a tooth or teeth to be congenitally absent. Partial anodontia also called congenitally missing teeth is perhaps our most common congenital malformation. Approximately 2% to 10% of the population exhibit missing teeth. In the permanent dentition partial anodontia mostly affects the wisdom teeth.
