A wisdom tooth , in humans, is any of the usual four third molars . Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have fewer ( oligodontia ), or more, in which case they are called supernumerary teeth . Wisdom teeth commonly affect other teeth as they develop, becoming impacted or coming in sideways. They are often extracted when this occurs. About 35% of the population do not develop wisdom teeth at all.
