I can understand preventative removal. Especially when done on older teens whose parents have already spent a bundle on orthodontia. Or the parents had problematic wisdom teeth and simply expect that their offspring will have similar trouble.

My husband and oldest child had problematic wisdom teeth that were removed. The younger three appear to have gotten my superior genes in regards to dentition.

Smartest thing a kid can do is choose their parents wisely ;)

I read about this guy, and he doesn’t say no wisdom teeth should be removed. Just teeth that are a problem or threatening to be a problem. Makes perfect sense to me.

Some are commenting like he doesn’t want any wisdom teeth removed. That isn’t the case.
