Small Black Hole in my Tooth..Is it a cavity?

I noticed a tiny round black spot in 1 of my top tooth's and i thought it was food so i got a toothpick and tried to get it out for the longest!! Then i noticed that the tip of the toothpick was going inside the black part and that's when i realized it was a hole. Now im guessing this is a cavity but idk because i have never had any problems out of my teeth my whole life. Now every time i drink something cold it kinda hurts on that side of my teeth. So my questions r... Do i have a small cavity and if so what should i do? What can i do about the cold hurting my tooth? and do i have to have insurance to go to the dentist? Thanx guyz!!!

1. Yes, it sounds like a cavity. You should definitely be seen soon. You don't have to carry insurance to see the dentist, but you do have to pay for it. Most dentists accept payment plans.
2. Sure sounds like a cavity. Try drinking on the other side of your mouth or use a straw. Insurance is nice but you can just pay the dentist. If you haven't been for quite a while he will want to do a full exam and xrays, and then the filling, if that's what is needed. Several hundred $$$ I would think.
