Default Should I have partially occluded wisdom tooth removed?

Day 5 after removal of #20 old root canal, and other teeth in the area are requesting attention! Interesting both how painful this still is, and how the other teeth are responding.
That wisdom tooth has been erupted for 25 years, and now and again a dentist will mention it, as did this last one.

This is a healthy (as far as I know) tooth that is quite annoying- the skin flap seems to be perpetually irritated or itchy. It is really hard to clean and food is usually trapped. I wonder if this is a source of constant bacteria...

Is this worthy of extraction?
