Extract it.... Root canal for wisdom tooth can be done. but the best and permanent solution is to remove it..
the reason for cavity is inaccessibility of brush to that area, even after RCT you wont be able to brush that area, so better extract

Making your tooth free from infection causing agent is more important than sittings on dental chair. It depends upon the structural complexity of tooth and accessibility and present condition to make a successful rct either in single or more visits

Hello dear practo user,
Its difficult to comment without an xray.. anyways if the infection is too much, better get the root canal done in multiple sittings than doing it in a single sitting and then coming again to the clinic with the same problem.. so avoid single sitting as much as possible .. all the best.
