Does everyone have to get their wisdom teeth pulled?

my friend just got there wisdom teeth pulled and they had to have an IV and sticthes!but i really dont want that!how do u know if your wisdom teeth need to be pulled and when do they start coming in?cause im 14 and have 4 molers in back breaking through the gum.

there are molars that break through in early teen years- sometimes early, sometimes late, it just depends. Wisdom teeth don't come in most of the time until your later teen years(once upon a time before good dental care, wisdom teeth were a second chance for people who had already started losing teeth) - i still have them at almost 20. Keeping them matters on whether you have the space. I had teeth pulled on the top, and get to keep those wisdoms, the bottoms ones have to go though. As far as the IV and stitches go- believe me, being out cold for oral surgery is preferable! Also the stitches help the healing process by helping the wounds heal ( i.e. losing the clots that have formed) and preventing infection by limiting the space that is open to bacteria. don't fret anyhow, they give great painkillers after having them pulled and you get a ton of sympathy.
