It can be because of wisdom tooth or the tooth immediately in front of the wisdom molar. This will be confirmed by an x ray and clinical examination, along with your symptoms. In cases, where the second molar has developed huge cavity due to incompletely erupted wisdom molar, there is severe pain often leading to the ear and severe sensitivity. In such cases, the second molar needs treatment along with wisdom molar removal

Please visit a dentist and get complete check up and treatment planned to the situation

Wisdom tooth RCT is very critical and best performed at our centre by experts the constraints being the access. If any dentist willing to retain the tooth then RCT is the treatment of choice no doubts.

If the the doctor is doing r t for the wisdom tooth. Go for the rct of wisdom tooth. Nothing is best than that. If he fails to do so then u can even go for the extraction of the third molar. No isssues. But all the procedure should be under antibiotic cover

Wisdom tooth rct is difficult to perform, some dentist prefer saving this tooth whereas some prefer to extract it. Get rct done primarily, if it fails later u still have a chance of getting it xtracted, but if it does not fail it will support ur bone for quite a long time
Next Steps
Visit a Endodontist for proper consultation

Wisdom teeth are generally better if they are removed. However you may be requiring a root canal in the adjacent tooth if it is affected. Need to check your X-rays before advising you appropriately
