Thank you for your question.

Most doctors routinely recommend removal of wisdom teeth for multiple reasons: chiefly because they are difficult to clean and make it harder to keep the other molars clean, but also because they are often impacted. If this is the case, then corrective surgery to remove the wisdom teeth is even more important because of the pain they cause and the damage they can cause on the second molars.
