I found a tooth growing
I just found a tooth growing next to my tooth on the far back bit of my upper teeth [i forgot gcse biology to correctly identify the particular tooth]. The place it is located is not that bad as it's on the edge of my long teeth.
However, i'm pretty worried about it! I'm 19 years old and i dunno why its growing now, its really small at the moment only 20% of it is passed the gum area

is it a wisdom tooth.
i no nothing about teeth btw
it might not need to come out!
but is it?? it might be some sort of weird mutant tooth
what is wisdom teeth 
lol, i was never taught what it meant!
I have the other teeth that people get when they grow older on the far edge of their long teeth already. This one is happening on 1 side, it isn't irritable so i was wondering if anyone knows whether i can keep it there if it don't wind me up when it gets bigger. Otherwise i would hate to waste dentists' time in asking as they are v.busy.

IZZY!
i think wisdom teeth starts growing when u hit ur twenties.
Wisdom teeth come through usually between the ages of 17 and 24. If you already have your wisdom teeth, I'd get this checked out. If you dont', don't worry too much, unless it really hurts, in which case, go see your dentist.
IZZY!
i d go to dentist. it doesnt cost anything anyway,except ur time.
It does if you're 19

I thought you got free dental care as long as you are a student?
No
it's 16,17 or 18 and in full time education for exemption.
If you're not getting any money as a student you might be entitled to the HC2 exemption certificate which means you get free eye tests, dental check ups and prescriptions.
I've already got my wisdom teeth. Thanks for all your advice, i think i'll just leave it untill it hurts/if it hurts [hope it don't because i hate going to the dentists!]. I was just intially shocked that i may have the same problem my brother had [he had some messed up tooth growing behind his teeth lol.
cheers.
cheers.
No, blissy is right. Although I gave up the right to free dental care at 18 because of my gap year.
I have very straight, white teeth, but two fillings.
