hI,

Thanks for asking the query,

Tooth decay is an irreversible process in which the bacteria of the mouth causes decomposition and cavity in the tooth, if not treated in time it spreads to the sensitive pulpal tissue causing toothache.

I would suggest you to consult to a Dentist get a checkup and get the tooth restored, also get complete mouth scaling and polishing.
After eating of sticky substances gargles.
Brush your teeth twice daily.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Take care!
