Decay: Infected teeth do not self repair. The remaining infected tooth material has to be removed and the resulting space managed. From your brief history, you are overdue for professional care. Please see a Dentist yesterday rather than tomorrow.

See DDS ASAP: See your dentist ASAP, devise a treatment plan to your liking and address not only this one tooth but your entire dentition, so this will not happen again.
