Who needs to have their wisdom teeth removed?
Not everyone will need to get their wisdom teeth extracted. But most people just don’t have the room to accommodate third molars. They are very difficult to restore with fillings because they are so far back in the mouth. They are also very hard to gain access to when its time to brush and floss them. Some people’s mouths are so small that the wisdom teeth cannot come through the bone and they become impacted. And a few lucky patients just don’t have third molars, they just never formed.
