Do You Really Need to Get Your Wisdom Teeth Pulled?

In some cases, there is absolutely no need to remove your wisdom teeth. If they don’t interfere with the normal functioning of neighboring teeth, it means that your mouth is big enough to accommodate all four of your wisdom teeth. The same is true if they’re straight and not at an angle to their neighbors, which can create hard-to-reach places for bacteria to grow.
If there isn't enough space in the mouth and all adjacent teeth are already snug as it is, the erupting wisdom tooth brings the risk of damaging the nearby teeth. In this case, it’ll cause pain in your whole mouth and problems with chewing! Poor oral hygiene because of stuck food in wisdom teeth that didn’t’ fully come in can cause a large buildup of bacteria, which can lead to even more problems like oral cavity diseases.
Most dentists agree that the younger you are when you have your wisdom teeth removed, the better. After you turn 25, all the bone tissues have formed completely. This means that the teeth are more difficult to remove, and the surrounding tissues heal more slowly.
After you’ve had your wisdom teeth removed, the best post-op diet for you is milkshakes and ice cream. These foods are soft and cold, which is good because it soothes the pain.

SUMMARY
-You don’t need to remove healthy fully grown wisdom teeth that stand straight and don’t interfere with the normal functioning of neighboring teeth.
-In case they’re completely hidden under the gums and can’t erupt through the surface, didn't fully come in and there isn't enough space in the mouth and all adjacent teeth are already snug as it is, the erupting wisdom tooth brings the risk of damaging the nearby teeth. You should also remove wisdom teeth if tumors have formed, there’s inflammation in the gums and tooth decay.
-There's nothing wrong with keeping your wisdom teeth if you regularly visit a dentist and get x-rays of your jaw. In this case, you can learn about a potential problem, like improper wisdom tooth growth.
-After the surgery, exercise the jaw by opening and closing your mouth. Eat soft foods like soup, pasta, mashed potatoes and so on. Drink lots of liquids. Start brushing your teeth only the next day after the surgery. Do it very delicately.
-Do not smoke, don’t be too active and harsh while rinsing your mouth. Do not eat sticky or hard food. It can disturb or scratch your wound. Do not drink through a straw.
-35% of people are born without wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the only teeth that aren't formed in the womb.

I got my wisdom teeth at the age of 16, which I am still 16 now and I got them pulled off on new years eve of 2019, heading into the new year 2020!! I felt literally no pain,dispite what people had said, on the scale of 1-10 I felt a solid 3 of pain, so it was low and doable for me. I am wisdom teeth free now and what a great way to start the new year!!!

I had two of my four wisdom teeth removed so far. My dentist extracted them at three-week intervals instead of extracting both of them in one go. The reason for this is simply because it's the most comfortable option, and it doesn't take as long to recover from it.
