Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
If your age is less than 18 years and, if there is no bone covering over the impacted tooth, you can wait for the tooth to erupt til 21years.
Consult a oral physician and get radiograph interpreted to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. Nothing to get scared about the surgical procedure, it is a simple procedure done under local anesthesia.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
