I have a wisdom tooth under the gum. Should I remove it? What happens if you leave a root in your gum?

Suggest yearly radiographic and clinical exam. The most common issue is periodontal disease if it is close to the surface.

You may experience sensitivity and pain. Without treatment, it may lead to infection.
