From what I have learned through a few dentists is Wisdom teeth can get cavities easier and gingivitis. Also if they're impacted it gets painful,
I may get some flack here for this but my son is 12 , I fully intend on having his "wisdom tooth buds" removed long before they can form into full
adult wisdom teeth. It's mildly uncomfortable , quick and recovery time is also quick. Definitely a far cry better than the possibility of death or
something else going wrong.
I only grew 2 of the 4 wisdom teeth , no crowding but it is harder to reach back there with floss.
Good luck!

I really don't know alot about this because I didn't have to have mine removed. I've heard from others though that you don't need to have them removed unless they are causing alot of pain because there isn't enough room to come in, or if they get infected. Your post made me wonder if dentists are removing them even when they don't have to be removed. If so, I'm sure it is for the sole purpose of profit.
Mine never came through at all.
When I got a full dental plan though, the dentist told me they had to come out because they were impacted, so they went in and got them. I was never told there were any risks. I wonder if the risk is less when you're older? I was in my 30s.
I don't think they needed to come out, I didn't have any pain, there was room in my mouth for them, if they had ever come through the gums. They weren't infected either.
I think my dentist just looked at my dental plan as an easy way to get paid.
It definitely sounds that way. It seems like if they were gonna be a problem, that they would've been hurting you. It completely sucks that we are kind of at the mercy of our dentists and doctors. Sometimes they are right on, but other times it seems like they either don't know what they are talking about or are just trying to raise their profits by recommending procedures that we don't even need.

It sounds like the dentist ruptured your mastoid sinus with the peri probe. That happened to me when I got a wisdom tooth removed. I developed an infection that almost killed me. It can happen....

I had to sit in a room and watch a movie that explains the procedure and the risks.

Your wisdom teeth produce white blood cells. There is no reason to get them removed because of inflammation. That would be like saying that your toe hurts, so therefore you want it amputated.

There is no need to, I never got mine extracted and I'm perfectly fine, some times it can be painful (not major) but look at them as spare parts, if you lose a teeth they serve as backup one thing to remember is to have a good diet as to have good teeth (calcium is extremely important), when I was young I was given hole milk soon after it was milked from a cow, I never broke a bone in my life I'm 35+ I had a very active infancy, more freedom than kids have today that also helps to have a good strong skeleton and muscles.
The wisdom teeth issue is like the appendix or the tonsils and the penis foreskin, consider that if evolution (or god if you are religious) had no use for them why would they exist, all have a purpose, a function, I have them all, never been hospitalized and the only major issue I have is the common cold at times, more or less in every 2 years I spend 1-2 weeks in bed.
Eat healthy and do a minimum of exercise and sun light (at the right times of the day), do not indulge in processed food or sweets and you will be fine the rule of thumb is to have variety of food and environment.
Avoid antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs as much as you can without putting you life in risk.
