Ask your doctor what happens if you don’t remove it and what could you benefit out of it. And then what could be the troubles for removing. If benefit outweigh your risks go right ahead.

Bleeding pain swelling and minor issues of temporary nature are common and there can be specific complications depending on the location of the tooth which I cannot comment on without more details.
