consult a dentist near you , get an x-ray done, if the cavity is not deep then it can be filled, but if it's deep then you have to get RCT done followed by capping.

Please get a dental xray done to determine causes of change in colour. Treatment can be a filling or a root canal supported by a tooth coloured crown.

Front teeth in lower jaw getting black(non vital) and having hole(decay) clearly indicates towards a dental issue(irreversible pulpitis) and might cause fall of teeth and pain.consult a dentist and get an iopa x ray done to evaluate the problem.you can post the x ray here too so that we can also diagnose & plan a treatment.

It is probably decay. Get an X Ray done. If the decay is very deep then root canal treatment may be required. If not just a filling would be sufficient.
