One thing I really like about my current dentist is that they'll show me the imaging and explain things such as while a certain crack on the surface of a molar could be filled, there is no rot beneath it so we can just monitor it. Wisdom teeth is a great example, I used to go to a dentist when I was a kid that would always bring them up. I never got them removed and have never had problems with them. I'm sure it's one of those things where statistically a lot of people do have problems and it's also easier to remove them before they get impacted, but far too many dentists want to remove them using those statistics instead of basing it on the specifics of the individual patients.
