In majority of cases, the wisdom tooth needs removal as it does not have enough space to come straight on the mouth. There is no use of a tilted or half-erupted tooth, rather it can be a source of infection and pain.
The medication given will get the existing infection in control, when it is best to remove the wisdom tooth.
Next Steps
An Xray must be done before you undertake removal.
Health Tips
Only if the upper and lower wisdom teeth touch well and can be kept clean, the removal should be deferred.

An xray/radiograph will help in deciding the treatment. But if the wisdom tooth has not erupted till 30yrs means the space is insufficient.
Next Steps
Better to get it removed
