Yes: Many patients may be unaware that they have an impacted wisdom tooth or teeth. Appropriate x-rays allowing full visualization of the upper and lower jaws can help determine if wisdom teeth are present and may help in the diagnosis or if they should be removed.

Yes: Yes. But even impacted wisdom teeth without symptoms can be a problem. For best information, see a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon for exam/xrays/recommendations.
