Hello mam....
Wisdom teeth is one that fails to erupt in its normal position in the given period of time...
As it is the extra teeth and does not use for eating and speaking purpose....The ideal treatment is removal only...you need to go for surgical removal followed by analgesics and antibiotics

kindly visit dentist for further management

Yes, you should get it removed.
That teeth is completely tilted, it's not even helping in chewing.
While brushing also, it might not be reaching till the end.
So best option is extraction.

Hello ma'am. From seeing the OPG, i suggest you to get the upper right as well as the lower right and left wisdom (last) teeth. These three teeth are tilted and impacted. They will give you trouble. Why ? Because they will give you pain later.
