Do you have any pain with respect to that tooth ??? If yes than go for removal . If not paining try keeping tht area clean so tht food doesn't go and get stuck below the cheek mucosa covering tooth .... if food gets stuck below tht it 'll get infected and will cause pain...

Hi, if it causing pain then you have to remove but if it's not paining or not having any discomfort then you can leave it for sometime
