Wisdom Teeth Extractions, A growing body of evidence questions the need for this procedure

According to Dr J Friedman DDS in a Study published in The American Journal of Public Health, over two-third of cases of wisdom tooth extractions are completely unnecessary.   That only 12% of wisdom teeth actually cause an acute issue somewhere down the road that requires the attention of a dentist to resolve.  This would be about the same rate as appendicitis, however people do not routinely  have their appendix removed like with wisdom teeth.
