Question:

Do you have to get Wisdom teeth pulled???

I haven't got mine pulled yet and was wondering why do u have to and if not then why do so many ppl get them pulled. what are the benefits of getting ur wisdom teeth pulled and what are the cons.


Answers:

Not everyone needs to get them pulled. They are supposed to be a left over from our cave man days - coming in later in life after to replace teethe that may have broken off gnawing on bones. Some jaws are just not big enough to accommodate the extra teeth and the wisdom teeth may grow in sideways or interfere with nerves etc. That is when they need to be removed. They are a bit smaller than the other molars and being so far back may be cause for hygiene problems - prompting removal for prophylactic reasons only.
