A dental filling shud sort your issue . In case the cavity is deeper and painful you shud have a Xray done to examine the cavity and resort to appropriate treatment .

Get consultation done and if required dentist will advise x ray if its deep. If decay is not involving nerves only tooth coloured filling can be done. If its deep and involves nerves it requires root canal treatment.
