Genetics: Genetics play the role on whether or not you will have wisdom teeth, ANS well as almost all other aspects of your appearance and overall health. There are no guarantees regarding the formation or absence of the wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth: It is relatively rare to find someone who does not develop any wisdom teeth. Some individuals may be congenitally missing one or more of them. While genetics do play a role, there is no way to predict this.
