Wisdom Teeth

Question Does everyone need to have his or her wisdom teeth out?

Answer No. When there is adequate room the wisdom teeth can erupt into the mouth in the correct position and function as a valuable asset or they may remain unerupted and cause no problems. However, this is usually not the case.
