Impacted wisdom teeth
I have planned to take my impacted wisdom teeth on the lower bottom right part of my face which is entrapped under the gums. So it was creating a problem of trapping food and getting inflamed. But the left bottom one is not doing anything like that or causing any inflammation. do i have to remove that ine also. Please find the xray attached.

Extraction of both the teeth is recommended

I would suggest you to get both of them extracted as they are creating crowding in your lower anteriors which will eventually lead to pockets where food can get stuck and also periodontal issues later.
As you can see in the X-ray your jaw doesn’t have enough space to accumulate wisdom and that causes pushing the adjacent teeth. This causes crowding.
Next Steps
Get lower bottom right wisdom extracted as soon as possible from a nearby dental clinic.
And plan the left one as you like in next six months.
