Yes: The pressure from an impacted tooth may have shifted your other teeth by a fraction, throwing your bite off. Have an oral surgeon take a look regarding extracting them.

Definitely, yes: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned, cause discomfort in other teeth, painful and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures. See a dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment if needed.
