In most of cases, they don’t erupt in the right position and have to be removed.

So, what can happen if you don’t remove your teeth:-

Damage to other teeth

Often, wisdom teeth don’t get enough space on the jawline to develop in the right position. So, wisdom teeth can push the other teeth when they attempt to erupt, causing teeth shifting and crowding. As a result, they may damage the second molar and increase the risk of infection in that area. The pressure created in the area can push the adjacent teeth from their position, requiring orthodontic treatment to straighten other teeth.

Decay

An impacted wisdom tooth can erupt partially, making cleaning difficult as they are in the hard-to-reach areas with a toothbrush. When not cleaned properly, leftover particles can be trapped around the gum of the partially erupted teeth and leads to bacterial infection. This increases the risk of tooth decay on the impacted wisdom teeth and nearby teeth as well.

Gum disease

A partially erupted tooth also increases the risk of developing a painful, inflammatory condition called pericoronitis in that area. If left untreated, you’ll lose the healthy teeth as well.

Cyst

An impacted wisdom tooth develops a sac within the jawbone. The sac is filled with fluid and forms a cyst that can damage the teeth, jawbone, and nerves. This condition requires the removal of bone and tissue.

As you see, wisdom teeth can cause a lot of problems, especially if they become impacted.
