I'm 17 years old and my first wisdom has almost completly erupted from my gums. It looks fine and all, but instead of coming out straight, it looks like the tooth has been turned. Should I have it removed or what? Thank you for your help.

Yes. Get it removed before it starts damaging the teeth next to it or it starts doing damage to your gum or cheek.

My wisdom teeth didn't erupt until I was in my mid-thirties. By then, the roots were wrapped around my jawbone and I ended up with TMJ. The earlier you get them out in life, the faster you'll heal and your teeth won't shift around so much.

I suggest you check it out with ur dentist since i had the same problem but after it went out completly it came to normal!
My dentist had me under his supervistion for 6 months he told me if it continued to turn he will have it removed, so ask him and see what he says :)
Goodluck with it!
