Not if they aren't giving you any problems. I had mine for years without any complilcations, but I did find it hard to brush that far back and ended up with cavities. So in the end I had them all pulled.

Some people get wisdom teeth and some don't. If you have wisdom teeth and they are bothering you, then you may need to get them pulled. But you could actually only have 1 that bothers you and the rest are fine. Just depends on the individual themselves. So the answer is they do not need to be pulled unless they are bothering you.
Hope this helped and good luck.

Not all of the time. I have wisdom teeth but they never poked through my gums so they never did any damage to my mouth. Only your dentist can tell you if they are going to cause a problem.

sometimes, sometimes not. they are an evolutionary holdover from before toothbrushes, so there is usually not enough room for them and all your other teeth (they originally grew in to replace teeth lost) most times they are impacted, and do need to be removed, but sometimes they grow in just fine. my top ones grew in completely, even improved my smile (i was a gap tooth kid) while my lower ones were pracically sideways, and had to come out. your dentist can usually tell. i even know some people who never had them to begin with.

No, only if they are impacted (pushing up on other teeth), or if they cause you pain or discomfort when eating.

i got my cut out before they moved in. if they came thru, there's a chance you won't have to have them pulled. they will only be pulled if they're causing any problems

If there is room for them in your mouth and they are not impacted, then they do not have to be pulled.
