Now what about wisdom teeth that you can't see and are hidden below the gumline? Well for those teeth, they maybe hidden now, but may erupt down the line. They also often times will lean against your last visible molar in the mouth -- in those situations, there is risk of eventual root decay on that molar one day and risk of loosing it also. Also hidden wisdom teeth do run a slight risk of cyst formation and of those cysts, there is a small chance of malignant transformation (cancer).
When should I remove my wisdom teeth? Ideally, a good time to remove wisdom teeth would be somewhere in late high school years or college simply b/c you are younger, recover and heal faster, have less dense bone and have plenty of time off and don't have to worry about missing out on work!
Remember we have sedation from nitrous (gas) to pills to IV sedation for your comfort!
