What are the pros and cons of getting your wisdom teeth pulled?

Many: If you do not have room for them to erupt and be properly maintained for life, then they should be extracted. Sometimes the upper ones remain encased in bone and are of ne consequence -- they are often left in place. Problematic areas are most commonly the lower ones. If they are impacted, partially erupted, or not cleansable -- have them out. They offer no functional chewing. Older = harder extn.
