Hello. A toothpaste or medicine is not sufficient. You require a proper dental treatment to treat the cavity.
You will require an x-ray of the tooth. Depending on the extent of spread of infection, Root canal treatment or restoration(filling) will be done.
In case of cavity on the 3rd molar (wisdom tooth), it is best advised to get the tooth extracted (removed)
Kindly visit a dentist for definitive treatment and diagnosis

Toothpaste helps to prevent cavity but they cannot cure it. Once cavity has been started then you need to get it treated.
Treatment of cavity will depends upon the extent of cavity. If it's not deep then simple fillings are required, but if they are deep then root canal treatment is required.
Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.
