When I was 21, my dentist wanted to remove my wisdom teeth. I asked him why, he said &quot;because wisdom teeth are difficult to clean and you&#x27;ll likely lose them by age 30 anyway because of that.&quot; I replied that since they were healthy now, I&#x27;d wait and see, and got a new dentist.<p>I&#x27;m 56 now and my wisdom teeth are still there and still healthy.
