[…] Usually, impacted wisdom teeth that cause dental complications and pain are removed. Even impacted wisdom teeth that don’t cause any immediate problems are sometimes removed to prevent future issues. […] Some of the complications that impacted wisdom teeth can lead to include damaging other teeth by pushing against the second molar. This increases the risk of infection in addition to many other problems by crowding the other teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can also lead to cysts that can damage teeth, nerves and the jawbone. […] It’s also advisable to use mouthwash when impacted wisdom teeth grow to get rid of food or bacteria that gets trapped between the gum and the wisdom tooth. Rinsing with an anti-bacterial mouthwash will also help decrease the risk of developing pericoronitis, an inflammatory gum condition.
