Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed
Wisdom teeth need to be removed for a variety of reasons:

Crowding: Sometimes, the jaw might need more space to accommodate the wisdom teeth. Because of this, the growth of wisdom teeth can cause crowding and, eventually, tooth alignment issues.
Pain and Discomfort: Wisdom teeth growth is extremely painful, sometimes not tolerable without medicines. This pain can last up to months until the teeth are fully grown.
