Most people have them extracted for one of the following reasons:

They are impacted, which means they did not come in normally. Because they are in the back of the mouth, they may get trapped in the jawbone or gums and this causes pain.
They come in at the wrong angle, which causes them to press at the other teeth.
The mouth isn’t big enough for more molars.
There might be cavities and gum disease due to the fact that wisdom teeth are far back in the mouth and cleaning them is usually harder.
