Do I need My Wisdom Teeth?

Technically, no you do not need your wisdom teeth. Your teeth will function fine and as designed without wisdom teeth. As the last teeth to erupt and when they align properly — and gum tissue is healthy — wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. However, for the lucky few whose wisdom teeth appear to be aligned and functioning, they are prone to disease and should be examined annually.
