Hey There...Yes it is deep and you may need to get Root canal treatment done to save this little tooth. The drilling is not painful. Dentist will give you anaesthesia to make that tooth numb and so, you will not feel any pain.
Next Steps
You should seek Dental consultation before the pain gets bad. Remember, delaying any treatment only increase the expenses related to that treatment. Sooner the better
Health Tips
Avoid eating or drinking anything too cold from that side

Doesn't look major. But xray should be a better guide.. get the necessary treatment done at the earliest before the cavity becomes further deep...it could be done under local anesthesia if you are apprehensive about pain.
