I think i have cavity in my lower right side second last molar , the cavity looks small in size from outside, i can feel a hole in that tooth when i glide my tongue over it, also i feel pain i.e low to medium intensity pain plus sensitivity. Medium pain only when eating, brushing etc and low pain when nothing in mouth. However , there is no pain when grinding teeth together.
Do i need cavity filling ?
I am attaching pictures of the tooth . Your opinion on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes there is a small cavity (pit and fissure cavity )visible with respect to 2nd molar …. Get it checked with the nearest dentist …. For sensitivity it might b due to caries or it might b due to dentin exposure …. ur doctor will check and let u know the exact treatment after examination…
clinical examination and x rays are required to suggest a treatment plan
Since u are already having pain I would recommend u visit the dentist and start with the treatment at the earliest
answer to your question is yes you need dental restoration and the dentist assess the depth of the cavity and suggest the solution after clinical examination.
Next Steps
Visit dentist and prevent the tooth from further decay
