Just because it's common doesn't mean it couldn't be a mutation. Every attractive trait is beneficial, more so (I would speculate) than a trait that increases survival. Anyway, beneficial traits aren't scrutinized as closely as deleterious ones because people don't complain about it and go to a hospital to have it checked out.
Yah, I never had any wisdom teeth thank goodness, or any cavities until I was in my forities and had just had major surgery. I haven't brought my teeth to the attention of the medical community, though.
