Hello mam!
The information you hav provided is not enough to come to a conclusion. If sufficient amount of tooth is present, the cavity can be treated and tooth can be saved by root canal treatment.
If the extent of decay is more and major portion of crown is lost, then it has to be extracted.

If the cavity is deep better to root canal the tooth and restore it by capping
