Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. However, many people do. You will know you need your wisdom teeth removed if you have pain, which may come and go. You have this pain because the wisdom teeth are growing or impacted. If the pain continues or gets worse, you should see your dentist. Otherwise, there may be further issues resulting from ignoring the pain. If you are unsure if you need to have your wisdom teeth removed, a dentist can examine your teeth and advise you on whether the cause of your pain is growth or impact.
