Is it possible for an adult to not need any wisdom teeth removed if never grown in or threatened the growth of other teeth?

It is possible for an adult to not need any wisdom teeth removed even if they have never grown in or threatened the growth of other teeth. Some people are born without wisdom teeth, while others may have them impacted (stuck in the jawbone) or only partially erupted. In these cases, wisdom teeth removal may not be necessary unless they are causing problems such as pain, infection, or damage to other teeth.

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop, and they typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. However, some people may not develop wisdom teeth until much later in life, or they may never develop them at all. This is thought to be due to genetic factors and evolutionary changes in the human jaw.

If you are concerned about your wisdom teeth, it is important to talk to your dentist or oral surgeon. They can evaluate your mouth and determine if your wisdom teeth need to be removed.
