Dr. Strawn recommends having your wisdom teeth removed when you are in your teens or early twenties, even if they are not impacted. As a preventative measure, removing wisdom teeth before they cause problems can prevent more serious and expensive dental issues later in life.nnYounger individuals tend to have faster healing times and experience fewer complications following wisdom teeth removal. Wisdom teeth roots are not fully formed in younger individuals, making extraction less complicated and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding nerves and structures.
