The wisdom tooth on your left lower side seems to be decayed beneath the filling done. Root canal treatment can be advised for the same. Consult an endodontist to see if the root canal is possible since treating wisdom teeth requires proper access. If treatment not possible, get the tooth removed.
Right lower side also the same issue is present but mostly it does not require a root canal and can be treated by a simple re-restoration.
Clinical picture is highly important in this case to understand if the access to these teeth is sufficient, and accordingly treatment can be done.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist/endodontist to see if your wisdom teeth can be saved . If not, proceed for extraction of the same.

You are having a secondary caries underlying your filling in lower left wisdom tooth and also interdental bone loss in between the lower left wisdom tooth and the adjacent tooth which may create problem in future so better you extract that wisdom tooth which will not give you further pain in future

IN the given OPG x ray film, the left lower third molar doesn't seem to be an impacted tooth. There is a deep filling in that tooth , pain may be due to that filling, or it can be due to impingement of the upper tooth to the tissues just beyond the lower third molar causing tissue inflammation and pressure on lower tooth.
Next Steps
consult with an endodontist first, if the left lower third molar cant be saved with root canal treatment ,then that tooth may need to be extracted.
Health Tips
if pain persist after extraction of that tooth , then upper wisdom tooth extraction may be also considered.
