Hi.
As your nerve is very close to the root of the wisdom tooth, partial removal is also possible,if you have unbearable pain.
Next Steps
kindly visit nearby oral and maxillofacial surgeon for physical examination evaluation and treatment

In this situation, I feel that it will be wise to get a cbct ( cone beam CT) of 38 done before surgery.
CBCT will reflect the entire 3-D picture of the relation of tooth to the jaw nerve and that helps in better planning and outcomes.
Also, it will be better to get it done from a specialist ( Oral & Maxillo-facial Surgeon)
