Wisdom tooth

My wisdom tooth appears. I just noticed it after I had taken my breakfast. I was kinda ignorant of it. But based on my research:

wisdom tooth, in humans, is any of the usually four third molars. Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more, in which case they are called supernumerary teeth. Wisdom teeth commonly affect other teeth as they develop, becoming impacted or "coming in sideways". They are often extracted when this occurs. About 35% of the population do not develop wisdom teeth at all.

I am one of those 65% who developed this so-called wisdom tooth. hahahaha
