While not all wisdom teeth require removal, they are most often extracted as a result of an active problem such as pain, swelling, decay or infection, or as a preventative measure to avoid serious problems in the future. If impacted wisdom teeth are left untreated, a number of potentially harmful outcomes can occur, including: Damage to nearby teeth: Second molars can be adversely affected by impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in tooth decay, periodontal disease, and possible... bone loss. Disease: Although uncommon, cysts and tumours can occur in the areas surrounding impacted wisdom teeth. Infection: Bacteria and food can become trapped under the gum tissue, resulting in an infection. The infection can cause considerable pain and danger.
