Wisdom Teeth
Say: wiz-dum teeth
You will have learned a lot by the time you get your wisdom teeth, but they don't make you any smarter! Between the ages of 17 and 21, most people get four more molars all the way in the back of the mouth, one in each corner. If wisdom teeth don't grow in properly, they may have to be removed.
