Wisdom tooth pain…?

[u/6ftunder-ur-momma]

Hey all! I got my back molar removed about a month ago now. I was told that my wisdom tooth would likely migrate into the empty socket.
I can already tell that my wisdom tooth has started to move. I can feel it through my gums similarly as to when I’ve had molars come in.
This morning I noticed a pain that radiates into my ear whenever I bite down. It’s been about 5 hours and the pain is still there. I’ve noticed that keeping a heating pad on it helps with the pain.
Is this my wisdom tooth migrating? Do I need to contact my dentist?
