If you are experiencing pain repeatedly then operculectomy can be done. If still not relieved after the procedure, then the wisdom tooth needs to be removed.

If there is recurrent pain and medicines are not helping then operculectomy needs to be done. If operculectomy doesn't help then extraction needs to be done.
Decision can be taken only on clinical examination.
