Yes you cavity shud be filled as soon as possible bcoz after some time he might have pain and your treatment plan would be lengthy that time and costly too. If you think that you will go for extraction then premature extraction can be cause of malocclusions.

No it is important to fill the milk tooth even because it should be there to maintain the space for the permanent tooth, so it is important to save the milk tooth as long as possible.

The common age of new permanent molars coming is almost 11-12 years. And your son is just 5 years old. The primary dentition is going to fall for sure but the age from 5-11 is not going to come back. And that is a major growth period in your child's life. So kindly care of the primary teeth. God has given your child the primary dentition with a reason. And hence you have to preserve it.

If you leave it untreated what happens is every food he eats, some particles may stuck there.as children do not brush their teeth properly as adults.there may be chances of food stck there, and cause infection and may be pus. So either you should be very careful about teething his teeth properly and other dental care or you can go for dentist's advice.
