If it were me I'd have them pulled, chances are is that they have cavities because they are hard to reach and clean properly. Since you don't really need them it's better to spend a couple hundred dollars per tooth to extract them rather then pay that to fill and then $800 or more later to crown them after the fillings fail.

Considering you don't really need your wisdom teeth for anything, I'd say get them pulled if you have cavities in them. But if it's only a small cavity in like one of them or something, get it filled.

My husband had cavities in his wisdom teeth and the oral surgeon tld him to pull them ASAP. He was in pain and those teeth will just keep causing problems down the line. Pull them!

Is your mouth too small for them? Do they have something to bite against? Has other dental work caused problems? If you dont have a problem with any of them it is your choice.

It's *always* better to keep your teeth, unless they are impacted or are causing other problems.
