>>16941760>Why do doctors want us to get them removed so badly? Why are they called WISDOM teeth?1) You get them later in life...that is why they are called wisdom teeth.
2) Dentists only wish to remove them if they come in impacting upon other teeth. This can cause serious medical problems if left unaddressed. Otherwise..they are preferred left in place because they help anchor the line of teeth of those with good genetics.
3) Generally speaking...those with excellent genetics still maintain their wisdom teeth because they come in straight.
