You have to visit a dentist for this he/she might have to take an X-RAY for the involved tooth , if the decay is very little then it can be filled but if its deep then RCT have to be done followed by capping.

If pain is not there simple filling would do. Rct is done if pain is there because of nerve involvement as determined by an xray.
Visit your dentist at the earliest.

A hole in tooth is not an indication of rct..if that hole extends into pulp where there are nerves and blood vessels,u may need one...its always best to get all cavities filled before it deepens...there is not absolute way to prevent a progressing cavity at home
Next Steps
visit a dentist
