Do not let him sleep off by drink in my milk from bottle or through breastfeeding.
Make sure you clean his teeth thoroughly by brushing with paste and wipe all the surfaces of all the teeth thoroughly.

Hello,
Dental decay is the 2nd most common disease in the world in children. So don't worry about it. It's very common. You need to take your son to a dentist and get a filling done. At home you can teach your son to rinse his mouth after eating or drinking anything, especially sugary foods. Start using a fluoride rich toothpaste as well.
Next Steps
Go to a dentist and get the tooth filled.
