Wisdom tooth extraction

I'm in my early 50s and I still haven't had my wisdom teeth removed.

Sometimes I experience pain, but I was told to ignore it because I still have my upper and lower wisdom teeth. It's uncomfortable to brush, and when food gets stuck, I need to clean it thoroughly.

I'm afraid to extract it because I think the tooth root is deep.

I'm still debating whether it's better to remove it now or leave it alone if it doesn't cause much discomfort.
