Where do your 12 year old molars grow?

The 12-year molars, also known as second molars, typically emerge in the back of the mouth, usually around the age of 12. They are located behind the first molars, which come in earlier, and complete the set of permanent teeth. In some cases, they may also be referred to as "wisdom teeth," although wisdom teeth specifically are the third molars that usually erupt later, in late teens or early adulthood.
