When I was studying, my pal had his wisdom tooth covered by gum completely and he had inflammation. They cut the gum and wiped puss - with teeth as well gone, so these things can happen.
I still have all wisdom teeth, even if one of them is fixed in a shape, that I can describe as a pyramid, which works for me as I do not bite on them. The other one is in better shape - it required dentists to work with "all of their hands in" and I can't open my mouth wide enough, so quite an issue to fix anything back there.
