Infected wisdom: These types of questions are best answered by a Board Certified Oral Surgeon who can clinically examine you and along with radiographs of the area discuss risks of surgery, treatment options and recommend what to do both before the surgery and afterwards should there be an unusual events during or after the surgery.

OS consult: Get a referral to an oral surgeon and a panoramic x-ray. The oral surgeon can best ascertain if it is prudent to extract the tooth and what the ramifications would be. I am sure you will be fine, third molar extractions are routine for oral surgeons.
