Depending on how they are growing, there is good reason for lots of people to have them removed early.
If they're growing in straight, nothing to worry about, just let them go. But if they're not, they'll grow sideways, get impacted, fuck up the alignment of your teeth, potentially develop a cyst or bacterial infection, and leave people with permanent jaw alignment disorders.
It's not a guarantee that these things will occur, but the idea of preventative medicine is to be better safe than sorry, before it becomes a much harder problem to solve.
Ultimately I trust what the medical expert advises, and my dentist had advised me to have them removed.
