Many: Wisdom teeth are just your third molars. Treatments are only needed for conditions or problems. If you don't have enough room for them to erupt normally, it is the lack of space that needs to be addressed often by removing the wisdom teeth but if they are healthy and aligned well, with exceptions for certain age widows of opportunity, often there is no indication for removal or any treatment .

Depends: Recommended treatment for wisdom teeth will depend upon the diagnosis of an existing problem or potential problem. If the teeth are erupted into the oral cavity and functional,some people choose to not have them removed. If decayed or have significant periodontal problems or contributing to problems with adjacent teeth, you may opt to have the removed. Impacted - discuss this with your dentist.
