Hello dear
Visit your near by dentist
He/she will properly examine and let you know the extent of the caries.
Mostly your sensation will go after restoration/filling.
Health Tips
Don’t delay it as caries can extend and can cause pain.

Yes see a dentist immediately. You should go for filling of that cavity. Delay may lead to pulp exposure and abscess which may unnecessarily lead to going for rct.
Next Steps

I think you should get it examined by the dentist who can accurately show you the extent of the caries (I. E that small black spots or stains on the biting surface of the tooth ) by clinical examination & radiographic findings.
Don't worry about it. It's a simple process.
After that get the treatment done as advised by dentist.
Next Steps
visit dentist
Health Tips
use fluoride containing toothpaste & also follow proper brushing technique as instructed by the dentist.

The dentist will take an radiograph (x-ray) to see the extend of the problem since the problem is localised its most probably due to a decayed tooth
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and get a radiograph done
Health Tips
Avoid eating anything too hot or too cold and anything hard from that part of the jaw
