Wisdom tooth at 11?!

I just saw a thing about how many teeth adults have and I counted my own then became curious about how many teeth my children have, so I called over my 11 year old son much to his dismay, to count his teeth, he said "oh yeah, there's a tooth growing back here!" Sure enough, a wisdom tooth, at 11! He began puberty at 9, his voice is now as deep or deeper than his dad's (genuinely, sometimes I hear him and think his dad's home when he isn't) I'm worrying myself he's got some hormonal issue, god knows I'm not savvy on anything medical, can anyone reassure me that wisdom teeth are normal at 11 years old? Apparently several of his classmates have commented on his voice and I'm just probably worried over nothing tbh. I did get on a bus the other week and there were a bunch of year 7 boys on it that all sounded like they'd been sucking on helium. (My son is in year 6) Put my mind at ease! 😂

Children get their second adult molars at around age 11. Wisdom teeth are 3rd adult molars.
