It's crucial to see a dentist for this toothache, especially with a cavity and the tooth being out of alignment. A scan (likely an X-ray) will be necessary to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. It's possible the tooth needs a filling, root canal, or extraction, and the misalignment might require orthodontic treatment or surgery in some cases
