Hi Doctor,
My daughter is about 20 years old now. But the molar teeth's haven't come yet to her.

Need your kind advise.

There are 3 molars on each side of each jaw. Which molar do you refer to? The third molar wisdom tooth comes between the ages of 17 to 21 generally. However it can be delayed. Get an Xray called OPG done and share to rest your fears.

If it is the third molar then no need to worry. It may be impacted and may not erupt in many people. An X-ray can be done to check the teeth if required
