Not all people need their wisdom teeth removed. Dentists consider many factors before removing wisdom teeth, such as dental crowding, gum disease, age, and the condition of the second molars. For example, wisdom teeth fully encased in the jawbone are considered unproblematic. On the other hand, wisdom teeth that are just sticking through the gums can be a problem, as cavities, gum disease, and infections are more likely to occur. Either way, best to consult your dentist about the impact your wisdom teeth have on your oral health, as everyone is different!
