At what age do people grow wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third teeth from the innermost part of the human mouth, and the eighth tooth from the front. Wisdom teeth grow very slowly, usually between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five. Because people's IQ has been tapped at this age, these teeth are called wisdom teeth. Next, let’s take a look at some relevant content about the growth of wisdom teeth. Below is some information compiled by the editor.

From the age of 6 to 12-13, the deciduous teeth are constantly replaced by new wisdom teeth.

Wisdom Teeth

The permanent teeth are replaced by the second set of teeth (permanent teeth). There are 28 to 32 permanent teeth in total. According to their appearance and function, permanent teeth are divided into four categories, namely incisors, canines (these two are what we often call front teeth), bicuspids and molars (these two are what we often call back teeth). As the human body develops, these teeth continue to erupt, and generally there is no special feeling.

In the primitive human stage, due to the wear and tear of rough food, the height and width of the teeth continued to decrease, and the back teeth had enough space to move forward one by one, so that our third molars (also known as wisdom teeth) could begin to erupt around the age of 16.

However, as human food becomes more and more refined, the wear of teeth is decreasing. At the same time, the stimulation of the jawbone caused by chewing fine food is reduced, causing the jawbone to slowly degenerate and shrink. This inevitably results in insufficient space for tooth eruption, and the eruption time of wisdom teeth is correspondingly postponed to after adulthood, that is, between the ages of 18 and 30. Since this stage is generally believed to be the peak period of intellectual development, people often call these teeth "wisdom teeth", and thus the term "wisdom teeth" came into being.

Wisdom teeth are the third molars, commonly known as "establishing teeth", and are the last teeth in the dentition.

The above is the relevant content about the eruption of wisdom teeth. Some people grow wisdom teeth very quickly, but some people grow wisdom teeth at a very old age, and some people never grow wisdom teeth in their entire life. This is all normal. When wisdom teeth are growing, never lick them with your tongue, and rinse your mouth with salt water after eating.
