Horizontally oriented wisdom tooth

My lower wisdom tooth is coming and it is horizontally oriented due to which there is a gap between it and the adjacent molar in which food gets stuck. Should i get the wisdom tooth extracted?

Pls share IOPA Xray of that tooth. In this kind of cases, for a general idea, it's best to get the wisdom tooth extracted. However your tooth Xray will confirm the treatment plan.
