A member asked:
Do you think i should have my unopposed upper wisdom teeth extracted?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: When erupted wisdom are unopposed, in many individuals, the teeth will erupt further leading to decay and periodontal disease on the adjacent 12 yr molars. Therefore, as a preventive measure, it is usually best to have them removed.

Maybe: If they are biting into your lower jaw or extruding and irritating the teeth in front of them, yes. If theyu are not bothering you, why?
