Hello. Please attach a photo of the area of concern. You will require an OPG (full mouth x-ray) In case of an impacted 3rd molar, you may have to undergo extraction of the tooth. If left untreated, it may cause pericoronitis- severe pain, inflammation and swelling of the gums of that region, or may lead to traumatic cheek bite. Please Visit a dentist for definite diagnosis and treatment
