The answer to this questions can be a little tough without having a proper x-ray to view the position of the wisdom teeth and determine if they are erupting straight or in an agulated position. Wisdom teeth that erupt in an angulated position can sometimes cause pressure to the remaining teeth as well as remain partially erupted (in which some of the tooth is exposed and some remains covered under gingival tissue (gums). In cases like these, food can get packed or get stuck under that gingival tissue (making it harder to keep clean) which can cause even more discomfort and inflammation. But whether the teeth are erupting straight or angulated, if they are causing some discomfort, it may be best to have them extracted.
