One of mine was bothering me and the dr yanked all 4. The top ones didn't look like they needed to come out to me, but frick I'm not a dentist.

Do you even evolution, bro?
For most, the third molars are a vestigial organ, like the appendix, that has lost it's usefulness.
I don't believe in the prophylactic removal of all wisdom teeth. I only suggest removal of third molars that are not properly erupted, infected with caries or pericoronitis, or impossible to clean for the patient.
