Sometimes, wisdom teeth do not cause any symptoms. Visit your dentist to know whether you need yours removed or left alone. In most cases, however, removal is required even if you do not feel pain. Wisdom teeth can lead to complications, including impaction, where there is not enough space for the tooth to erupt. As a result, it becomes impacted, growing in at an unusual angle.
Wisdom teeth may not have negative effects right now. However, it can cause damage to other teeth, especially if it is impacted. Additionally, if the spaces between molars are narrow, bacteria can form easily, increasing the risk of inflammation and gum disease, among other problems.
