Does it matter if the third molar is extracted?

The extraction of the third molar, which we often refer to as the wisdom tooth, does not matter because as humans have evolved, the function of wisdom teeth is now becoming weaker. In the past, people needed a better bite to tear apart particularly hard-to-swallow foods, such as raw meat and the like. Nowadays, people are living better and better, chewing finer and finer foods, so the number of teeth needed is getting smaller and smaller. Nowadays, many people are born without the presence of wisdom teeth, which results in the number of normal teeth now, some people are 28, some will reach 32. Therefore, wisdom teeth removal will generally not have any effect on the body. On the contrary, if some wisdom teeth remain in the mouth for a long time and their position is not correct, they become the cause of some diseases, such as pericoronitis of wisdom teeth. Therefore, wisdom teeth are now recommended to be considered for early extraction.
