Is 17 or 16 years too early or a premature period to start getting wisdom teeth?
This is the right age for wisdom teeth to start coming in. Unfortunately, people have evolved to have narrower jaws so it’s very common to have problems with your wisdom teeth coming in. Depending on what angle they are coming in at, they have be able to be pulled by a dentist or it may require a dental surgeon. I had mine removed by a dental surgeon and it wasn’t all that bad. They just gave me something to knock me out and it was fine. My jaw was sore for about a week, but they gave me painkillers. Your dentist to take x-rays to see how your teeth are coming in and monitor whether or not they will have to be removed.
