hello maam,its adviceable to get fillings done .Cavities ledt untreated may cause more damage to teeth leading to nerve infection.Treatment for such cases will be root canal.Filling of teeth is any time better then root canal treatment.
Next Steps
Visit your nearby dentist.

See, by looking at attached x ray, it seems like minor cavities. But you need to get them filled. As more you delay, more problems you may face. So it's better to get treatment as early as you can.
Still have queries then you can consult online also for better guidance and treatment options.
