You only have to get them extracted, if they're impacting your other teeth. That is, if they're forcing your other teeth to shift irregularly, then yes you'll have to get them out or ..possibly see your smile turn crooked.

I was told I had to have mine out because they were pushing my other teeth. I said no. Finally at like 25 I was told I got a cavity on one of them so I let them pull them. I REFUSED to be put under. I finally found a doctor who would abide by my wishes. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Better than a root canal.

it would be wise to have your wisdom teeth extracted. like everyone else said, they could come in impacted or cause crowding of your front teeth. another reason to have them out is that if they do come in ok, they are the hardest teeth to keep clean in your mouth. you will get decay (cavities) in them and possibly need to have the extracted later anyway. wisdom teeth are know as "non functional" teeth.

There are so many reasons why. To me the most important reason is that they can damage your other teeth. If your wisdom teeth are sitting in a strange angle, you could develop bone loss around it, causing all sorts of problems with teeth that you do need. You can't keep these teeth cleaned, so they are more prone to decay. It's just better to have them removed & not have to worry about it any more. Good luck.
