Question:
Does everyone have to get their wisdom teeth taken out?
Answers:
Hi:
When I was little, they were only removed if there was no room (impacted) for them to come in properly or if you were having other problems with them.
I am not sure why today's dentists (not all) want to remove wisdom teeth when you are not having a problem and they are not impacted.
I am 42 and I still have all 4 wisdom teeth. The different dentists that I have had due to moving from different places all have wanted to pull all 4 wisdom teeth even though I am not having problems with them. I have been told it is due to preventative dental maintenance.
Be safe and be well
