OK I'll buy into this. 32 continuous years of dental nursing and I can tell you there are plenty of both men and women over 70, who still have their own teeth, including their wisdom teeth. By the same token, evolution is gradually doing away with them. There are lots of people who never develop wisdom teeth. If you have all your wisdom teeth, and they're fully erupted, and not angled, then in my opinion,there's really no reason to have them out, other than to help your dentist with his/her next car repayment. Unless there's another underlying factor we don't know about.
