Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.

I would like to suggest that if this hole/cavity is small and painless, getting filling is the best option of treatment, because if left untreated cavity will destroy the tooth structure.

Therefore, I will suggest you get it filled.
Hope this answered your query. If you have any more questions, let me know.
Take Care.
