Is everyone born with wisdom teeth?

My boyfriend says he never had wisdom teeth. Never had them removed. I thought that they are the 3rd set of molars that come in somewhere in your teens or later. But most get impacted and have to be removed. But that we all have them. Can someone clarify it for me

Is everyone born with wisdom teeth?
IT depends, some will grow a wisdom teeth, some won't in his or her lifetime. You can also grow a wisdom teeth when you are 60.
Reply:Some people simply don't get them. It's kind of an evolution thing. We are phasing them out...

Reply:yes
Reply:I dont thinnk everyone is. However most people are not born with teeth.
Reply:Some people don't have wisdom teeth at all. In others the wisdom teeth are there under the gums, but don't ever come in. And then there are the unlucky ones like me, that had to have all 4 cut out at the same time. That was awful.
Reply:More than 30% of the worlds population are born without wisdom teeth
Reply:you tend to develop wisdom teeth in late teens if at all, but you do not start with them (not enough room in the mouth for a start!).. whether you get them or not does not negetively impact your health at all, its just dependant on your genes!
Reply:yes every one has wisdom teeth. Some people dont realize they have them because there jaw is big enough to hold them. Some peoples jaws are to small and crowding can cause damage to


adjacent teeth and jawbone
Reply:I beleive everyone is born with wisdom teeth - but some peoples wisdom teeth don't actually break through until later in life - and actually some people just have impacted ones.
Reply:I was born with wisdom teeth, but only on my bottom jaw. They both came through my gums, but they don't bother me. It's been said that if they don't bother you, don't worry about having them removed. To this day, I haven't had them removed - they're still in my jaw, but again, they don't bother me - one came all the way through the jaw and the other came in sideways - still partly under the gum. Only a small portion came through the jaw, but no point in getting them removed unless they give me trouble.
Reply:Some get wisdom, some get wisdom teeth, some get both, too many only get the wisdom teeth, and no wisdom.
Reply:not every one has them. If they don't they are slightly higher on the evolutionary scale at least thats what a dentist told me. Its happening more and more all the time. I'm lucky I don't have them and never will.
Reply:No not everyone gets the typical number of teeth shown on a dentistry chart. Many of the people in my family did not get all their baby teeth or all the adult teeth people come to expect. I, myself, didn't get adult canines and though the top wisdom teeth are impacted the bottoms ones were never there. It's quite common.
Reply:You are kind of right. They are a fifth set of molars, and you get them later, like a teen or older. But some people do not ever get them. I have a friend that never got hers. And people get them removed for all sorts of reasons. The main reason is actually because they are the hardest to reach and therefore, the hardest to brush. So they get all sorts of problems due to that. But yeah, a lot of people's become impacted.
Reply:not everyone my uncle is an orthadontist (luky me i have braces) my aunt (his wife) has no wisdom teeth it is kinda like a new spiceis thats wat he says anyway
Reply:no not everyone does,we talked about it in class today lol alot of people are not being born with it because it is not used because the mouth is smaller than it used to be so after awhile your kids kids or somthing will start to not get them
Reply:they are the 4th molars i believe. And some people are born without any some have only a couple. I personally only have 3.
Reply:Some people are lucky enough to not have them at all, some just 1, 2, or 3. Me I only had three. The dentist told me that as humans have evolved from cave man days the need for those extra teeth for grinding food has become unnecessary, so we have evolved them out of our genes.
Reply:i never heard that
Reply:yes and no





but not everyone is born with wisdom or acquires it either
Reply:Wisdom teeth are different from most molars. They sort of do their own thing and sometimes that includes not developing at all. Everyone is different when it comes to wisdom teeth . It is not uncommon to see someone never develop them or develop only a few or just one. Wisdom teeth can stay in the mouth 1.if there is room 2. if there is room and the person can keep them clean. 3 if there is room, they can keep them clean and they do not decay the tooth ahead of it. Sometimes wisdom teeth will rotate a certain way so they lay against the 2nd molar and decay it out. Interestingly enough, some people can develop 4th molars called distomolars. These come in behind the wisdom teeth. You don't see it a lot, but it can happen
Reply:Not everyone developes wisdom teeth . I never developed any and each of my four children only developed two each. Our dentist said it is all in your genes. Basically it is genetic.
Reply:I have never had wisdom teeth. I don't know how rare that is, but I am 57 years old, and I don't suppose that I'll be getting them now!
