It depends on which tooth it is and how rotten it is. You may have to have it pulled. You need to take care of it immediately, though. There was a 12 year old boy who died from an infected tooth. It was in the news yesterday. The infection spread to his brain. Go to the dentist immediately.

Consider yourself lucky.
Pain from a cavity results from the decay getting involved in the nerve chamber. While you may have a large cavity, it may involved more surface area, rather than depth. (where the nerve is).
See your dentist asap. You may still have time before the decay gets to the nerve, therefore avoiding the need for a root canal, but the longer you wait, the bigger chance you take. Dentists can do a treatment if the decay is close to the nerve called a pulp cap, which is essentially a liner between the tooth and the filling.
Good luck!

If the tooth is rotten it will probably need to be filled. If it just has a cavity and is not rotten as you say then they will just fill it. See your dentist to get this checked out before it causes problems.

It depends on whether the cavity has reached the root or not.
I asked the same question from my dentist and he said that you could figure it out by tapping lightly on the tooth and if it results in pain then the cavity has probably reached the root.

so funny that u ask this cuz i just went to the dentist on monday for the same reason only i had pain. if there is no pain probably not going to need a root canal but if you let it go too long like i did and pain starts you will need one and let me tell you they are not cheap or painless to get. so get to the dentist my best advice and get that thing filled asap.

I had a deep cavity (with pain). Luckily, It just needed a filling, but dentist said if it had gone deeper to the pulp, it would have needed a lot more. Better to get it filled before it gets any bigger.

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/OSRgn
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

Start taking ground up organic eggshells in capsules (you can make them yourself--just wash the eggshells carefully and don't destroy the membrane. grind them in a coffee grinder and fill empty capsules) Take 3-4 twice a day. Also VERY important, start eating butter from grass-fed cows and take cod liver oil capsules. You can HEAL teeth naturally with an improved diet (no junk) and these supplements. Look it up on Google!
