Dear Practo User
As you are describing, it can be decay of your concern tooth. Brushing will not help at this stage. But it can be well treated. Don't worry 😊
Keep your oral hygiene good so that no other teeth is affected. Avoiding sweet, sticky food and brushing twice daily and flossing will protect your other teeth from being affected.
Next Steps
Upload an image if possible. Or you can visit a dentist nearby.
