Wisdom tooth
An improper eruption of wisdom tooth, unsure whether I need to get the tooth extracted or the problem can be fixed without the need for an extraction. Food is getting lodged between the tooth and the gum surrounding the tooth.

Food lodgement in that area suggests removal of wisdom tooth as it may cause decay in adjacent tooth too. Since wisdom tooth is considered as an additional tooth, it's removal won't cause any loss nor any replacement is needed.so my opinion go ahead with removal.
