Yes, the RCT is very much required in your molar, as the cavity is too deep to be just treated by a normal filling. Moreover, get your wisdom tooth extracted because it is the cause of cavity in the adjacent molar.

RCT is very much required by you in your molar tooth. It is your mesially angulated last molar that has led to development of caries in the adjacent surface of front molar. At times you may feel radiating pain in upper jaw due to infected lower molars but still you must also evaluate your upper side where you complain of pain.

Get RCT done for the carious tooth in x ray

If you have been experiencing jaw pain for two months and your dentist has identified decay in the adjacent teeth and an impacted tooth, it's essential to follow their advice regarding root canal treatment (RCT) for the lower molar. Here are some factors to consider: Pain Location: Sometimes, pain in one area of the mouth can be referred from another nearby location. This could be why you are feeling pain in the upper side even though the lower molar is the primary concern. Additionally, if the impacted tooth is causing pressure or affecting the surrounding area, it could contribute to discomfort in other parts of the mouth. Dental Examination: Your dentist, after performing a thorough dental examination and reviewing the X-rays, is in the best position to assess the condition of your teeth and determine the appropriate treatment plan. If they recommend root canal treatment for the lower molar, it may be necessary to address the underlying issues causing the pain. Adjacent Decay: Decay in the adjacent teeth is also a concern and should be addressed to prevent further complications. If left untreated, decay can progress and affect neighboring teeth. Second Opinion: If you are uncertain about the recommended treatment or have concerns about the diagnosis, it is entirely appropriate to seek a second opinion from another dentist or an endodontist (a specialist in root canal treatment). They can review your X-rays and provide their assessment and treatment recommendations. Communication with Your Dentist: If you are experiencing pain in the upper side and are unsure about the treatment plan, communicate openly with your dentist. Discuss your symptoms and seek clarification about why the RCT is recommended for the lower molar. A good dentist will take the time to address your concerns and explain the rationale behind the treatment plan. Ultimately, the decision about whether to proceed with root canal treatment or explore other options should be based on a comprehensive evaluation and discussion with your dental care provider. If you have any doubts or concerns, don't hesitate to seek a second opinion for peace of mind and to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for your dental health.

As per the xray provided you require rct with respect to your lower tooth. Sometimes you can experience referred pain on the opposite side due to carious tooth. Also if you have more of a jaw pain than tooth pain, I would suggest you to first get your 3rd molar extracted followed by the rct. This will help you to get rid off your pain totally.
Next Steps
Go for a 3rd molar extraction followed by rct to avoid future dental pains😃

Hi, From the X-Ray shared, you need to get the wisdom tooth removed and get a root canal treatment followed by a crown in the decayed tooth. The upper tooth, get an X-ray to rule out any issue.
