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.
