Could be: It is not unusual. If wisdom teeth are impacted on both sides it is not uncommon to remove them at the same time.

Normal: You have had the wisdom teeth for way more than a decade. Now is the time that you have first noticed them, a dentist has pointed them out to you, or you have a problem with them. The issue is not that you have them, but so what?

Age is not an issue: Wisdom teeth are erupting teeth, just like the rest of your dentition. Impacted wisdom teeth usually indicate a blockage of normal eruption. Whether this may be from other teeth, curvature of jaw bone or improper inclination of the 3rd molars themselves. As we age, other factors come into play. Decayed and broken teeth which are removed open up the space available for the wisdom teeth to come in.

Yes: Some times these teeth are impacted and when you extract the second molars, the path that was block by bone or gum become available. Some times patient think and feel they are getting their wisdom teeth but it's not true, dentist can make panoramic and can show you where and how your wisdom teeth located. Generally you should see them erupting after age 17.

Within normal range: While wisdom teeth normally erupt between the ages of 18 and 22 or so, depending upon your individual growth and development, and the angle of those teeth, eruption was obviously delayed. This is very common. You might have had them in for awhile and only now be aware of them. Have your dentist determine if there is enough room in your mouth for them & if they should be removed or not.
