They are supposed to come through between 20 and 30. Usually they are best got rid of, there often isnt space to fit them in.

Or, alternatively, you can get rid of the most worn molars and use the wisdoms as their replacements.

Yeah! If you're on the dole! Did you ever pay for such treatment?

Leave them in to rot. I have 3 left and they are of no consequence!

Alternatively, see a dentist in Thailand. The flight is cheaper than you would pay annualy in UK. A filling is five quid!

I've heard of people who left them in and it rots the jaw. You bite into a sandwich or something and your jaw breaks.

Mine started to come through when I was in my teens, then they stopped and started for the next 15 years or so. They gave up after a while and didn't come through at all, I still just have 28 teeth. πŸ˜€

You actually have 32. You just can't see 4 unless they were removed.

I started getting mine at about age 18. They were all removed at about age 20 back in the 70s in the hospital by a dental surgeon. I asked him to save them for me, which he did. So, in my hippie period of the day, I made them into love beads! 😏
I still have them in a box in the basement! πŸ˜€
