    Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Thes ones are still growing. The second molars roots are still growing too, so this is likely a young teen.

      I speak with experience when I say that teeth that are impacted, still growing or not, cause a tremendous amount of pain and dental hygiene issues.

        Impacted teeth can get infected which is painful. Being impacted does not always cause problems. Wisdom teeth that come through normally can also cause problems and get infected and need removal.

        Most people need them out, but not all. Too early to tell here.
