My dad who&#x27;s a year or two short of 70 has wisdom teeth that never &quot;erupted&quot;. Personally mine did at the age of ~20, but my orthodontist at the time thought they needed to be removed a couple of years before because they were pointing the wrong way. My dentist thought otherwise and I took his advice.<p>I&#x27;m half convinced that the whole &quot;wisdom teeth industry&quot; is just a great way to legally get some opioid painkillers.
