I'm going to guess that you will need a root canal (no the tooth doesn't have to hurt to get one) and a crown.. If you let it go too long it you may have a chance of losing the tooth altogether and to replace a tooth that has been extracted is even more costly than a root canal and crown..

how long did it take for this hole to form.? did it get bigger and bigger or just appear.?
you may not need a root canal, it may just be a very large cavity that needs filling..
go to the dentist ASAP.. it may cost you more in the long run if you ignore it.. Health Question & Answer
