Wisdom teeth: That is a decision to be made by your General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon. Generally, wisdom teeth are removed if they are involved in a pathologic situation such as damage to the surrounding hard or soft tissues, bite problem, decayed/broken/infected tooth, etc. Sometimes when 1 tooth is removed the opposing tooth over-erupts creating bite problems. Talk this over with your surgeon.
