If that cavity is deep, u will surely need root canal treatment.Only filling may cause you pain. U can get another X ray done just to confirm

Root canal is needed, still get another xray done and a 2nd opinion will help.

Hi..its still a case of root canal. Don't delay more and wait for pain to come again. It would affect success rate of root canal. Visit your dentist and start the treatment. Regards
