When I was 12 I had 4 teeth come in behind my each last tooth that came up without me having lost a tooth.?

Were these wisdom teeth? or were those 12 year molars?

These would most likely be your 12 year molars (also called 2nd molars). You can expect your dentist to be looking for another set of 4 to come in behind those sometime after the age of 16. If you have a complete set of teeth, including 3rd molars (also called wisdom teeth) you would have a set of 32 teeth total. It is possible to have missing teeth or extra teeth so that is a guess. Hope that helps,

Reply:You hit the nail on the head, its your 12 year molars !
Reply:if you have 26 teeth they are regular ones =if you have 28 then those are wisdom teeth
Reply:I would think they may be molars.
