Treating a wisdom tooth is not always necessary unless it develops into an infection or causes pain and discomfort; seeking treatment is not a must.
If your adult molars begin to cause pain; you should visit your dentist. The treatment process will begin with your dentist running an oral examination. This is to check for cavities or inflammation in the area.
Following this, your dentist will ask for an x-ray image of your jaw. This step is essential since wisdom teeth typically remain under the gums and are hard to evaluate with the naked eye. This image will give your dentist all the information they need on the inclination and development of your wisdom teeth.
If your dentist notices that your adult molars are impacted they will recommend their removal. You can do this in a simple procedure that will prevent complications in the future.
For any further complications like cavities; your dentist will deal with them separately.
