Do you get teeth at 15?

The answer is generally no, but 15 is around the age when wisdom teeth start to develop.

Wisdom Teeth Development

Most permanent teeth, excluding wisdom teeth, have usually erupted by the age of 12. According to the provided reference, third molars (wisdom teeth) are usually completely developed between the ages of 15 and 18. This is when they are starting to calcify and form. So, while you aren't getting teeth in the sense of other teeth erupting, your wisdom teeth are developing at this age.

Eruption Timeline

Tooth Type Typical Eruption Time
Incisors 6-8 years
Canines 9-12 years
Premolars 10-12 years
Molars (1st & 2nd) 6-12 years
Wisdom Teeth 17-25 years (or later)

It's important to remember that eruption times can vary from person to person.
