Everyone's different: Over the age of 30, asymptomatic wisdom teeth without any related pathology or other issues should be monitored on a routine basis by your general dentist.

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 at ages 15-24. See your dentist for evaluation and x-rays.

Oral surgeon: See an oral surgeon for an opinion. The oral surgeon is MUCH better equipped to offer advice about wisdom teeth than most general dentists. The oral surgeon can examine you, obtain xrays and discuss options.
