When I was 36 (a decade ago), I was wondering the exact same thing since
none of my wisdom teeth were giving me any trouble. My dentist told me
waiting/doing nothing was a crap shoot. He suggested pulling them at that
time to prevent the misery I'm going through now.
If you are diligent about going to the dentist for your routine stuff he/she
should be able to see if something is starting to go south and you can deal
with it then. Then hopefully you won't have to get thre wisdom teeth cut out
one impacted wisdom tooth hacked out, two root canals done, and a random
extraction. Starting the day after Christmas it's a dental care marathon for
me.
BTW...found out I'm one of the people who can't handle vicodin. Not pretty.

Bob, hope your procedures go well.
The topic of wisdom teeth is of high interest to me, as I still have my
two
lower ones at age 36. I had the top two pulled because they each had a
cavity. Am weighing the risks against the benefits of having the lower
ones
pulled (you probably know that the lower ones are more risky).
I ask my dentist and oral surgeon if these two lower wisdom teeth will
give
me trouble of any sort between now and my funeral. It's quite hard to get
any concrete answer (I'm just looking for their opinion, but I've run into
a
lot of hesitancy to give opinions on the part of healthcare
professionals).
