Please help! does everyone have to get their wisdom teeth pulled?

No: If you have space for your wisdom teeth to erupt into a functional position and they are not causing or contributing to a periodontal problem or problems with adjacent structures, you do not have to have them removed. Your age and position of any impacted wisdom teeth may also be a factor in deciding if you should or should not have wisdom teeth removed. Your dentist can advise you.

Wisdom teeth: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures. See your dentist or oral surgeon for evaluation and x-rays.

Wisdom teeth: Used to fit in our mouths millions of years ago. Since then our brains have gotten bigger and our jaws have gotten smaller so for many people they do not fit. If they fit allow them to come in. If they don't fit have them extracted. Your dentist can help decide the right choice for you.
