Wisdom teeth: The older you get the more likely to have complications with nerve injury, sinus difficulties, and poorer healing.

Depends on status: Depending on whether or not anything has changed since the previous year, maybe the surgeon's opinion will not change at all. However, if there are new symptoms, such as pain and swelling, or it appears that the wisdom teeth are moving and potentially in a position to damage the other adjacent teeth, then a decision to have them removed may be made.
