Hi mam,
Every cavity may not lead to extraction, RCT might also help followed by crown. I think one visit to the Dental surgeon might help you evaluate the condition and plan treatment accordingly.
Next Steps
Visit the Dentist so that you can get the physical examination done

Hi,
I suggest you meet the dentist an get an x-ray for the decay tooth and get it treated at the earliest. Recovery time depends on the treatment done. Approximately 2 to 3 days. During this time you will be able to function normally.

Yes, you can get your tooth extracted.
Normally pain after extraction subsides in 3-5 days, but complete healing of wound takes place in approx 4-5 weeks.
Next Steps
Do visit a local dentist for physical evaluation, x ray and treatment (as required)
