It depends on Radiological Diagnosis(X-Ray may be needed). If cavity is deep involving pulp tissue then you have to undergo RCT. If cavity is not deep we can manage with filling.

Hai, we need xrays to analyse the extent of decay. If the decay is too deep then rct is the only option. If it is not then filling is enough.

visit the nearby dentist and get treated.
