If you have a unbearable pain you should consult a dentist near by and get your x ray done so that you will get to know how deep.is the cavity and will filling will stay or it has already approached pulp
If it is so then you might have to go for rct

If you have unbearable pain in your tooth then the caries has extended to the pulp cavity. That means you require root canal treatment followed by a crown over the affected tooth.
The problem of pain will be resolved.

If u don’t require filling then u may be advised extraction. But don’t be in a haste. Decision making of your treatment is vested with u. But diagnosis and treatment planning can only be executed by the doctor.
