Yes, it is possible that wisdom teeth can hurt, even at 52. More importantly, it is imperative that you find out why they are hurting. It could be anything from simple gum inflammation, or it could be something far more serious, like a dentigerous cyst. A simple dental exam with appropriate x-rays will most likely determine the source of the pain. See a qualified dentist or oral surgeon and find out what is going on.
