I totally know what you are talking about and although the article you linked to said between 17 and 21… I still got one of them ’stuck’ way back there and I am 24.

And apparently I only got two of them according to my dentist. One is already out and the other is sitting ‘impacted’ correctly (ie not hurting and sitting upright in the ‘normal’ tooth position) and so long nothing is hurting it can stay where it’s at.

I’m late, but this layout is lovely.

Wisdom teeth are uggos…I’m dreading the time when mine start to come in. If I’ve lived without them for 17 years, what’s the point of even HAVING them? It’s an odd evolutionary holdover…

Old ice skate? Bad images.

My wisdom teeth are coming out even slower than yours. I discovered my top left wisdom tooth was coming out, but not my right. Like your bottom ones, mine is just peeking out and food also likes to get stuck back there. It’s so annoying, but no pain yet. I don’t have insurance, either, so I’m hoping I won’t have to do anything about it. This is my first wisdom tooth coming out. I have yet to see the other three make an appearance.

Good luck with the wisdom tooth and hopefully you can work something out with the dentist!
