Hello,
As you don't have continuous pain or pain at night it can be treated by a filling but the final treatment procedure will only occur once the x-ray is done as it will tell the extent of caries and line of treatment.
As your fear for drill is concern see any procedure as such won't cause any pain to you.
Next Steps
Get an X-ray done
Health Tips
don't eat hard and hot food, don't chew from that side and don't apply hot pack to the area.
