Do all third molars (wisdom teeth) have to be extracted?

Wisdom teeth usually erupt between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one. If there is enough room in the mouth, these teeth will erupt into a normal position. Some wisdom teeth come in only part way, and some never erupt. Your dentist will recommend extraction if he/she feels that they could cause problems over time.
