Horizontal wisdom tooth which has a deep cavity could be treated with either a restoration ( filling) if it has not yet reached the pulp of the tooth  or by extraction ( if the tooth is symptomatic ( pain ,swelling ). Horizontal wisdom tooth often leads to recurrent food lodgement and cavity formation. If it's a recurrent problem it's advisable to extract the tooth as a permanent solution.

Hi, If there is a cavity, it is advisable to remove the tooth before the pain starts. Temporary filling will not solve the underlying problem.
