The Dark spot on the xray could be a number of things. i hope it isn't a lower premolar, because it could be the mental foramen. Anyway. If you still have hot/cold sensation it is a sign that the tooth is vital. ie the nerve still works. If you are having symptoms of discomfort. aka PAIN. then the tooth may have irreversible pulpitis. The Dark spot is a sign of abscess or inflammation. But could be an artifact or something else. The use of a cold test or EPT would give a more definative evaluation as to the vitality of the tooth in question compared to the others.
If it were me. i would wait to see if it heals and get reevaluated every few months to see if there is improvement. If you're still unsure, another opinion from an endodontic specialist might be a good idea.

Go to the dentist obviously. To know specifically what it is, more information is needed but here are some possibilities: could be a cavity occurring somewhere along the back tooth which will require a dentist to fix through cleaning, drilling and filling. Or maybe if you are around your pre or early 20s, then it may be a sign of some impact among teeth caused by the development of the wisdom tooth which in turn causes some pain.
