Question
I was wondering if there was a certain age when wisdom teeth stops coming in. I am 29 and have had one or some of my wisdom teeth removed but I don't remember which one. Right now my upper right back area is feeling very sore and a bit swollen and I'm not sure if a wisdom tooth is coming in or not. I just thought I was past that age where the wisdom teeth would just be coming in.

Answer
If the wisdom teeth are growing straight  they would normally come in between the  ages of 18 -21.Otherwise if impacted they coulderupt anytime after or not all.The best way to know whats going on is to have a panoramic film taken this will show you exactly where they are in your jaw.
