“Is it necessary to have the wisdom tooth removed to prevent future problems?”
I've been told that you should always have your wisdom teeth removed to prevent any future problems. How true is this? What are the risk involved in not having them removed once they are coming in?

Not 100% of the time but they do need surveillance. Each patient is unique. I encourage you to visit your dentist and/or an oral surgeon for further discussion.

Everyone is different. Examination by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon will let you know if 3rd molar (wisdom teeth) removal is needed.
