Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle – even sideways – causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.

Usually wisdom teeth erupt in an improper position or remain impacted inside the mouth if your jaw does not have sufficient space to accommodate them.
This can sometimes lead to problems with adjacent teeth and gums like food particle lodgement, cavities in adjacent teeth and subsequently resulting in infection because of that.
It is better to get them removed rather than suffering in the long run.
Removal of wisdom teeth won't have any harmful effect on other healthy teeth.
