The best way to know if you have a cavity is to see your dentist for a check-up. He or she will look for little spots on each surface of your teeth to see is there are small holes with bacterial activity. But sometimes cavities are hidden and can only be detected on X-rays.
Cavities don't always cause pain. When they are at a stage that you can see them or feel them, they might have reached an advanced state.
Depending on where the decay is located on the tooth you may not be able to see it. Occlusion caries (cavities on the biting surface) may be able to be seen by looking in a bathroom mirror. However, cavities that are inside the dentin can only be seen using X-rays.
If you suspect you have a cavity don't wait to see a dentist. Waiting can only cause further damage to the tooth leading to more treatment (and more money too).
It usually shows when you have one... If where y ou think it is is visible. You should always check with your Dentist though
Go to the dentist they will probably numb it and then pull it out or they will take your tooth out and sew it back up and then put it back in but that's normally only for permanent teeth (:
A hole is a cavity, it means that the tooth is rotten or rotted. If you see a hole it is past time to see the dentist. You should also be brushing more often.

the tooth enamel has eroded, leaving your tooth sensitive and vulnerable for bacteria to creep into your teeth, especially if it is your back molars. The bacteria will get into your tooth and cause decay, thus, a cavity.

You may not be able to see the cavity--the dentist often uses magnifying glasses and a pick--in addition to xrays--to see them. Make an appointment to visit the dentist.
Of course it is better to fill it immediately and stop any further damage to the tooth. Why would you wait? So the cavity can get bigger? So the whole tooth rots away so you don't have to fill it?
