Maybe nothing: Can't give you accurate advice since this question needs to be answered after radiographs have been taken and your specific situation evaluated. Seek the advice of a local dentist.

Depends: The answer depends on your age, the position and/or malposition of the teeth, whether or not there is any existing pathology or problem with the teeth or surrounding structures, as well as your oral hygiene skills.

1 in 7: There's a 1 in 7 chance that there will be morbidity associated with an impacted tooth. Best advice requires an examination and imaging of the impaction. Go see your General Dentist or a wisdom tooth expert, a specialist Oral Surgeon.
