Hello
There is nothing to worry about it.
It is absolutely normal.
Possibly it might be missing completely or it might be there but is not able to errupt due to lack of space.
Unless it doesn't give you any problem u don't have to worry.
If it is there and is not able to errupt there are chances that in the near future you might experience pain.
Then you can visit a dentist, take an xray and plan the extraction
Next Steps
nothing to worry. relax.
incase of complaint.... visit your dentist

Hello mam,
This is absolutely normal...you need not see a dentist for this until and unless it causes some problem like pain or swelling.Sometimes third molars are congenitally missing and some times they are present within the bone,they fail to erupt.
But both these conditions are very common and normal.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist if you experience any pain or discomfort.

Wisdom teeth may not erupt at all in some patients though they may be present. In a small percentage of population they are absent. You can check with your dentist during routine dental examination. The wisdom teeth can be checked in the X-ray
