Hello !
The very first step to take when your tooth filling gets removed is to visit a dentist as soon as possible. You need to get it refilled by the dentist as this cavity will act as a portal for further damage to the tooth which will cause comparatively more discomfort in future.
Next Steps
To keep your teeth clean you must visit your dentist every 6 months.
Health Tips

Hi yes please get it filled again as not filling it would lead to food accumulation and further progress of tooth decay.
Please use a fluoridated toothpaste to brush teeth.
Rinse mouth after every meal.
Floss every alternate day.
Follow the right brushing technique.
Brush twice daily , particularly after your last meal of the day.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist once in a year for a checkup.
