Hello sir,
For cavity first you should take X_ray(IOPA) of the particular teeth....and based on radiographic investigation we can do the treatment....
***If the cavity is shallow, simple filling is enough...
***If the cavity is deep reaching berve layer then Root canal treatment is indicated..
If u wanna go for extraction then you can replace the missing tooth with implants too....
