Your wisdom teeth do not necessarily have to be pulled out. Usually, the situation is that the gums are not large enough to accommodate all of your teeth, including the wisdom ones, hence they have to be removed to prevent crowding, which can be very painful in some cases. There are a few people whose mouths are large enough to accommodate wisdom teeth, so they don't have to be pulled out.

∙ 11y agoWisdom teeth do not always require removal. Many people have wisdom teeth that have erupted normally and have not caused any problems. In some cases, however, wisdom teeth may be impacted. This means that there is not enough space in the jaw for the teeth to come in normally or to come in at all. Impacted wisdom teeth can become infected or interfere with other teeth. To prevent such problems impacted wisdom teeth are often removed.

∙ 11y agoThe wisdom teeth are closest to the Oral/Maxillofacial and parietal nerves. If a wisdom tooth becomes erupted or infected it should be removed because of danger to the nerves on the side of your face. That is why, when you are having a wisdom tooth removed, you are required to "sign papers" to release the oral surgeon from liability. That is because interruption/damage to your facial nerves can cause temporary or permanent paralysis to (either) side of your face.
