Wisdom tooth: If nothing is wrong now and there is no potential for a future problem, there is no reason to remove the wisdom teeth. Even if nothing is wrong now but there is the potential for a future problem, the tooth should\can be removed. I doubt you will find a dentist who will remove a perfectly good tooth without the potential for problems.

Depends: Depends on the position of the tooth and relationship to adjacent teeth. See oral surgeon for evaluation and options. Sometimes wisdom teeth not causing symptoms will cause future problems
