Whether it is necessary to extract wisdom teeth at the age of 50 should be decided according to the location of the wisdom teeth, whether they are symptomatic or not, and whether they affect the neighboring teeth, independent of age. 1. If the wisdom teeth are erupting in an orthodontic position and are able to perform occlusal function, and there is no caries or other dental diseases, the wisdom teeth can be retained at this time, but you need to ensure good daily cleaning. 2. If the wisdom teeth are in a crooked position and cannot fully erupt, they may develop pericoronitis or usually lead to caries and root resorption of the neighboring teeth, and are prone to food blockage with the neighboring teeth, and are usually recommended to be extracted. Wisdom teeth are also recommended to be extracted if they have no occlusal function, are decayed themselves, etc., regardless of age. It is advisable to consult a medical professional on the necessity of wisdom teeth extraction at the age of 50.
