If pain is continous the tooth will go for root canal treatment. Normal cold sensitivity and occasional pain can be treated with filling. An xray will be helpful for proper diagnosis
Next Steps
visit an endodontist

Hello you need to visit a dentist get it checked. Get an x-ray done, if there is a cavity get it filled. If there is infection to the root of tooth get it treated and place a crown over it.

Dear sir/madam ,
The black hole is a sign of tooth cavity. You would probably require a filling.
Next Steps
please consult your nearest dentist
Health Tips
please don't wait on it if the pain reduces, as it may cause further damage and may require an RCT or tooth extraction at a later stage
