It could: So many things can occur, but often don't. Best bet is to have your local dentist monitor the tooth during your regular cleaning appointments.

Yes: A malpositioned wisdom tooth or wisdom tooth growing on top of a tooth can cause a potential gum problem as well as decay problem in the wisdom tooth and the adjacent tooth. Your dentist can advise you of the potential for problems after a clinical and radiographic examination.
