peg laterals are not harmful to your health. you may 'treat' this problem by building layers of composite (tooth restorative material) on top of the peg lateral and shape it to an aesthetically more acceptable lateral incisor.

What happens if you don't get impacted canine teeth fixed?
It really depends on the position of the impacted canine - this needs to be confirmed radiographically. If it is very ectopic (misplaced) it can be left and your dentist asked to review it every 6/12 months. However if it is left and it is in close proximity to the lateral incisor there is a risk it can resorb (eat away) the root of the lateral incisor (if it already hasn't started to do so) resulting in the lateral incisors root which is already short being compromised and the tooth eventually falling out. It essential to get an orthodontic examination. In the UK if you have an impacted tooth you would qualify for treatment under the NHS. Hope this help PS I'm an orthodontist
