If cavities are building up, you should visit a dentist immediately to avoid root canals.
The cap needs to be assessed if it's bulky.
Radiography assessment also needs to be done.

You need to do the appropriate treatment after assessment of the cavities .. do it as early as possible to mind mine the damage .
The bulky cap needs to be evaluated and X-ray needs to be taken for the further planning and replacement .
