I am 59, and have a wisdom tooth coming through. The tooth is not impacted and growing in the right direction upwards. However, it is huge, twice as big as my other wisdom teeth. It started to grow (when I noticed) when I was 56. It will grow for about three days stop for maybe 45 to 60 days then grow for another three days. Sometimes it hurts more than other. I haven't been to the dentist, just allowing nature to take it's course.

It would depend on your on your teeth, spacing, and genetics.

It's an interesting idea, but I believe the wisdom teeth are in every way independent of any other teeth.

Once wisdom teeth are removed can they ever grow back?

GENERALLY, once wisdom teeth are gone they don't grow in again. If something is coming out from your gums after a wisdom tooth extraction, it might be a piece of root that was left out. It might also be a surnumerary wisdom tooth (extra wisdom tooth) that was already there before the extraction. However, they can grow back. It's documented, and happens to 1-3% of adults.Teeth don't grow back. Basically you get two sets, first the baby/milk teeth, then your permanent teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last of your permanent teeth to emerge.If you lose a milk tooth it will kinda-sorta be replaced with a permanent tooth (which you would have gotten eventually anyhow).When a permanent tooth is lost it's gone, your body won't make a new one.Back teeth are also known as molars. If you lose one of those before you have gotten your wisdom teeth, then it can look like it's the lost one that's grown back, but it isn't. It's the wisdom tooth (which you would have gotten eventually anyway) that has stepped up in its place.No. they dont grow back once they are removed. however, rarely we do find an extra molar, other than the wisdom teeth, which are called as the PARA Molars.Teeth don't grow back. Basically you get two sets, first the baby/milk teeth, then your permanent teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last of your permanent teeth to emerge.
