cysts in wisdom tooth

if my x-ray shown that there is a cyst forming near my left upper wisdom tooth, should i have it taken out as soon as possible, or should i wait until the tooth is fully grown? would a wisdom tooth grow back once it's taken out?

I couldn't agree more w/ turkee23...as long as the wisdom tooth has roots you can have it extracted....ignoring a cycst can lead to jaw disection and reconstrution....
