Question) Do I really have to have my wisdom teeth extracted even if they don't hurt?!

I have wisdom teeth, but so far, I haven't experienced any particular pain or discomfort.

However, the dentist says it's better to have it extracted in advance, but I'm conflicted because there are people around me who go their whole lives without ever having it done.

I'm worried that I might be pulling out a perfectly healthy tooth for no reason, and I've also heard that it can be much harder if problems arise later.

Are there actually people who live without having their wisdom teeth extracted? Or do you think it's better to get them removed early? Please share your experiences! :)
