Not necessarily: But think of it this way: if your lower wisdom teeth are impacted, they're never going to erupt correctly. If that's the case, then the maxillary wisdom teeth are essentially useless. Consult with a local dentist who can advise you further.

See your dentist: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned, painful and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures. See your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment if needed.
