Is it normal to get wisdom teeth at the age of 15?

Hello, I am 15 years old male. Five days back I was suffering from fever and earache. I even had swelling on the left cheek. The doctor said it is because of wisdom teeth. I am only 15 years old. I heard people get wisdom teeth in their 20s. Is there anything wrong with me? Is it normal to get wisdom teeth at the age of 15?

@maanav Hello, yes it is normal to get wisdom teeth at the age of 15. Some children will also get up to four more teeth called the third molars or wisdom teeth. Most children and young adults get their wisdom teeth between the ages of 17 and 21. With wisdom teeth, exceptions exist, however. While some may only get one or two of their wisdom teeth, others will get all four, and still, others won't get any. Some people don't get their wisdom teeth until after the age of 21, and others get them much earlier than the age of 17. No scientific reason exists for who will get their wisdom teeth and at what age they will get them. Thanks.
