Severe Tooth ache
I have pain in the side of my mouth near the decayed tooth. The part at the back of my mouth has skin that sinks inside the decayed tooth that is also half broken. After brushing the pain goes away for few minutes. I have tried everything and nothing works. Can tooth decay cause pain in the area around it. Please help .

It seems like a decayed tooth causing pain.
Pain is due to involvement of innermost part of your teeth also called as pulp.
If it's not too much broken then : root canal treatment (rct) and followed by crown/cap
Moderately broken: rct + post and core (a procedure to build up broken tooth) + crown
If very much broken : cannot be saved, extraction and replacement
Next Steps
visit dentist and X ray should be taken first

Get an X-ray done for that tooth. If sufficient tooth structure is there then it can be saved by doing Root Canal Treatment(RCT) , otherwise it will go for extraction.
