No, wisdom teeth are not always removed. Removal depends on individual circumstances, including how the teeth grow and whether they cause problems.Here are common scenarios when wisdom teeth do not need to be removed.
They are healthy (no decay or gum disease).
They are fully erupted (have come through the gums completely).
They are properly aligned with the rest of the teeth.
They do not cause pain, infection, or crowding.
Reasons for removal of wisdom teeth
1. Impaction – Wisdom teeth are trapped in the jaw or gums.
2. Crowding – They push other teeth out of alignment.
3. Tooth decay or gum infection – They are hard to clean due to their position.
4. Cysts or damage – Sometimes, impacted teeth can cause cysts or damage nearby teeth or bone.
