Once I had a nephew tooth with a major cavity that the dentist said if she cover the tooth with filling, the bacteria will be trapped and continuously attack the pulp releasing gas and stuff but having nowhere to drain out and it will cause a major toothache.. Is this true?

This statement is true. Filling up a tooth with decay near the pulp may cause abscess or swelling n in worse scenarios,a severe infection involving fascial spaces called facial cellulitis which may be life threatening
