If you having sensitivity with that tooth , if your mouth opening is good and want to save that tooth you can proceed with Direct or indirect pulp capping .
Or can proceed with Extraction with same .
2ndly on lower left side there may be impingement of cheek .
Here in left side can proceed with Extraction.
