An x-ray of the affected tooth will reveal the extent of damage. Pain is usually not a good sign because it indicates that the cavity might have breached the inner layers of tooth. It is in your best interest to contact a dentist as soon as possible for proper evaluation and correction. Delaying may lead to further deterioration.
