23 year old healthy male here. My wisdom teeth are currently erupting so I went and saw my dentist about it. He said they were coming in pretty straight and I’d probably be fine leaving them in but should see a dental surgeon for a second opinion. The surgeon looked at them and said I should 100% get them removed as they are hard to clean, can trap bacteria, and overall are “useless.” I would like to not have to go through surgery to get them out but also don’t want them to lead to further issues down the road. Looking at these x-rays, does anyone see any major red flags that indicate getting them removed or can I justify keeping them? (Also I’ve only got 3: 1 top and both bottom)
