Wisdom tooth pain can be aggravating to say the least. Sometimes teething occurs and you have room for them. Most people I see don't have room for wisdom teeth, so you need them removed. Generally speaking wisdom teeth are taken out by an oral surgeon, but sometimes general dentists take them out. Wisdom teeth can start hurting anytime from about age 16 and on. Some people develop all 4, while others have anywhere from 0-3 develop. In the end it doesn't matter how many develop as long as they either erupt through the gums, or are taken out. Wisdom teeth that don't erupt pose a potential for abscess or cyst formation, neither of which sound good.
