1 Abscess and infection.
Because wisdom teeth are so far back in the mouth they can be hard to clean and harbor bacteria that can cause periodontal infection.
2 Crowding
The mouth only fits 28 teeth and when 32 are left in they can cause severe pain and even decay of the teeth next to them.
3 Migration of other teeth
If you had braces but leave in your wisdom teeth in they may shift around the teeth in the rest of mouth, undoing your orthodontist’s magic.
4 A chance at Youtube stardom.
You’re not gonna want to miss out on recording a viral video of yourself post-operation.
5 Ice Cream
This is basically an excuse to eat Ice cream, milkshakes and smoothies for a week straight.
6 You’ll probably have to do it eventually
85% of people get their wisdom teeth out voluntarily or after a serious infection requiring surgery.
