Won't bother you: Getting them out is the best way to treat or avoid problems with wisdom teeth. Most people don't have room for them and when they try to come in you will have problems. Even if there is room for them the majority of people have problems in their later years as they are hard to keep clean and may decay or develop periodontal problems.

Depends: Depends on the position of the teeth. If fully erupted and in proper position, you may need no treatment. The best advice is to have the teeth evaluated by an oral surgeon who can advise you of your options.
