If cavities are building up, you should visit a dentist immediately to avoid root canals. The cap needs to be assessed if it's bulky. Radiography assessment also needs to be done.
Next Steps
visit a dentist

You need to do the appropriate treatment after assessment of the cavities .. do it as early as possible to mind mine the damage . The bulky cap needs to be evaluated and X-ray needs to be taken for the further planning and replacement .
Next Steps
Visit a specialist for the opinion and treatment
Health Tips
You need to increase your maintenance level, also reduce sugary intake to prevent further cavities.
