Please see a dentist, since u already have a radiograph, I suppose, because u r of the opinion that it is horizontal, The infection from the tooth may spread, if not treated. The doctor will start with antibiotics and analgesics. The said tooth needs to be extracted .

Hi, if there is no infection and the tooth is not causing any problems with cheek bite or pain due to deep cavity, then we can even fill the tooth and save it.
