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
