?: The two impacted wisdom teeth should be evaluated by an oral surgeon. He/she are in the best position to give you that advise. It all depends on the severlity of the impaction, the location of the impacted teeth, and their relevance to the surrounding teeth/bone/nerve locations. The best adivse, seek the advise of an oral surgeon.

Depends: Whether or not you should have the two impacted teeth removed depends on several factors. The position of the teeth, whether or not they are causing a problem now or indicative of a potential problem are some considerations. Your dentist and/or oral surgeon can advise you after examining you with the appropriate x-rays.
