Do kids really need their wisdom teeth pulled out, or should it be done only in severe cases?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are considered a relic from our evolutionary past and are unnecessary for function and aesthetics. In a case where the jaw is not large enough to accommodate third molars, or if the person cannot adequately clean them, then removing all four is recommended. However, if the teeth erupt properly, there is no reason to extract them.
