Third molars, if present, generally erupt between the age 18-25 yrs and that too if they have sufficient space in the jaw to erupt. In your case the adequacy of space should be evaluated to be able to predict the chances and approximate timing of their eruption.

Hi,Do not worry even if wisdom teeth are not developed as they are not useful for chewing.If there are no symptoms you require no treatment to be done.
