Hi,If the decay is superficial a filling can be done but if deep x ray has to be taken to evaluate the depth of cavity to rule out root canal treatment.

The extent of decay will determine the treatment. If no pain and it's not reaching nerve, then restoration(filling). If otherwise then root canal. Visit a dentist without delay.
