Hello!
Wisdom tooth extraction is required as there is cavity and you also have pain.
As it dsnt play any role in function and looks, it's better to get it removed.

Hi this is Dr.Harsha, if the pain is in the wisdom tooth area where it's highlighted in second image, it should go for extraction, but if it's generalized like everywhere in mouth, then should evaluate the condition clinically
Next Steps
extraction (localized sensitivity or pain)
desensitizers (generalized sensitivity )
