Visit a dental clinic and get an X-ray done for both teeth to ascertain the depth of the decay. Depending on the extent - your dentist will advise a root canal treatment or extraction. Root canal therapy should always be first choice as it can ‘save’ your tooth as opposed to removal.

If the cavity is painful, then you need to go for root canal treatment and then a cap
And if the cavity is not painful you can do a filling with ur tooth structure.
And if the cavity tooth is shaking then it is better to go for extraction
Next Steps
