Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wisdom teeth-also called third molars-are the last set of teeth that grow in. They usually erupt (break through your gums) between the ages of 17 and 25.

Detailed explanation-2: -The last molars to erupt are wisdom teeth, or third molars, which usually come through between the ages of 17–21. These sit at the end of the row of teeth, in the far corners of the jaw.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wisdom teeth usually emerge sometime between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people have wisdom teeth that emerge without any problems and line up with the other teeth behind the second molars. In many cases, however, the mouth is too crowded for third molars to develop normally.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to show up, but they should have all erupted by the age of 21. Sometimes, wisdom teeth do not always erupt and they get stuck underneath the gums due to a lack of space on the jaw or bone tissues obstructing proper growth of the tooth.
