Your wisdom tooth is creating trouble to second molar. So it's required to extract wisdom teeth and go for root canal of second molar.
If you delay it then it's difficult to save second molar also.
Consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello,
As your wisdom tooth is tilted towards the 2nd molar, it has created cavity over there.
So it is very well advised to remove the wisdom tooth.
Regarding the adjacent tooth, as the cavity has reached your nerve area( pulp ) , it is advisable to get root canal followed by a crown.
Regards
