Hello
I would request you to upload some photograph or x-rays if they are present with you. Definitely the wisdom tooth is trouble causing and if you do not get it removed it can damage the adjacent tooth but whether it has already damaged it would be clear through the x-ray. So it would need a proper examination, a proper checkup followed by treatment planning.
Kindly visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the same.

In cases where the wisdom tooth is malaligned, extraction is the best option . A full mouth X-ray / OPG is recommended before proceeding with surgery . Evaluation of adjacent tooth can be done accordingly.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist for a clinical consultation
