Alright, so I'm gonna get my wisdom tooth pulled out... but idk if it's actually necessary or not. the dentist said it is. i mean, it makes sense b/c it hurts my gum. so most likely, i'm gonna get that one pulled out. there's another one that doesn't hurt, but it's positioned in a way that everytime i chew, this tooth bites my gum, or more like the inner side of my cheek. the doctor said i should get that one pulled out too b/c it might cause trouble in the future. i feel like going with the dentist's suggestion , but my parents said it might be unnecessary. it's kinda weird but my parents think the dentist might be lying for the extra money he can pull off. i mean, i know that it's totally possible that the dentist might be up to something like that, but wouldn't that be less likely to happen? they think it's unnecessary to pull out the one that doesn't hurt.
i did a little research on the internet and i read a lot about how wisdom teeth that cause problems, even if they don't hurt, could eventually cause troubles, even severe ones.
what do you guys think? anyone has an experience with this before? anyone's father a dentist? or whoever? maybe you're a dentist? feedbacks would be greatly appreciated.

well.. my mom was going to get her wisdom teeth pulled out years ago, but then thought it was unnecessary, like your parents.
well, she just got them removed, like.. last year because they were causing problems.
^hope that helps.

you should just get it pulled because you dont want to have to deal with the problems later. your doctor should have told you if your teeth are impacted or not, which means they're positioned at an angle where they're towards your other teeth so your wisdom teeth end up pushing your other teeth. i dont remember exactly what, but impacted teeth can definitely cause problems later. just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean you dont need to have it pulled out..
i got my wisdom teeth pulled out a month ago. i only had 2 on the bottom though and they were both impacted so i had to take them out, even though they weren't hurting..
