Hi sir
Tooth is black and having pain that means there is a deep cavity which has touched pulp( Center of tooth) .

If the tooth is in black color means that tooth has lost its life which means its dead (non vital). So such teeth should be root canal treated or removed. Since he is very young it is better to save the teeth somehow. If pain is there that cement filling should be removed and medications to be taken.
Next Steps
Visit nearby dentist and Take an xray
Health Tips
Don't bite anything hard with that teeth
