I know several people who still have their wisdom teeth and I am in my mid-fifties. I nannied for a dentist and his wife and he said that if your wisdom teeth came in and you had no problems, it meant that you had a very big mouth to accomodate the teeth. People like me and others who had to have them removed due to impaction issues meant our mouths weren't big enough to make room for the extra teeth. If you husband has lived this long with no issues, leave them alone. Sometimes a young dentist sees $$$$$$ signs.
