I was told that my wisdom tooth should be extracted. Is it necessary or can it be avoided? I'll attach an x-ray

I would agree that the wisdom tooth needs to be extracted. There is not enough space for it to erupt fully and it can create a food trap between it and the adjacent tooth, which might lead to decay.
