If I have a gum infection under my molar do you think my dentist will pull it out because I'm scared of needles?

Fear of needles is not a rationale for extracting a tooth. On the other hand, if you refuse to consent to having the tooth or gum treated, extraction may be the only acceptable alternative. That raises the question, will you have the tooth without use of local anesthetic? That will probably hurt a lot more than a needle to numb the tooth and gum.

Is it possible for an adult to not need any wisdom teeth removed if they've never grown in or threatened the growth of the other teeth?

If you have wisdom teeth and they haven't come in normally, you need to have them removed. And possiblly even if they have come in. They are so far back it's very hard to keep them properly cleaned. It's better to get them removed as a young adult rather than an older person. It's also better to get them removed before they start causing problems. Most dentists recommend to extract wisdom teeth, even if there are no symptoms, to prevent future complications. For adults over 30 years old, most dentist would not remove wisdom teeth because the roots are completely formed and the bone around them is dense. Extraction would be indicated only if there are symptoms.

What can you eat the day after surgery for pulling wisdom teeth out?

Why, yes, of course you can! BUT! It is encouraged/recommended to eat only soft foods at first (yogurt, broth, fruit smoothies, mashed potatoes, applesauce, oatmeal, etc)

Do not try eating crunchy, sticky, greasy foods.

You are trying to make it as easy as possible for your mouth. You don't want to have to put more work into cleaning out your extraction site with too much food debris. You also don't want any potential threat to your wound with sharp foods.

You also need to drink plenty of clear fluids and stay away from sodas, hot, and alcoholic beverages.

Also, be certain NOT to drink any liquid through a straw. The suction formed within the mouth by that action could pull out the packing and/or blood clot in the now vacated area. If that comes out, you'll begin some serious bleeding and probably have to rush back to the dentist.
