Hello,
You need to post your X-rays for the right diagnosis. As far as cavity is concerned, if it’s deep & involves nerves of the tooth (pulp), then Root canal needs to be done to save them. In case the cavity is not that deep, then filling can be done.
Next Steps
Post the X-rays of both the teeth.
