Cavity question...please help!!?
i went to see my dentist this morning for a routine check up. i haven't had any problems and i never had a cavity. he checked my teeth and told me they looked good no cavities or anything like that. than he does xrays and tells me the bone on the one side is gone and that i have a really bad cavity. i don't want to have my teeth drilled and i don't want any fillings. what are my other options besides getting the tooth pulled. it doesn't bother me or anything like that. if i have sealant put on my teeth will that help? please help.
Answers:
If you leave a cavity unattended it will grow and become a bigger problem - no matter how much you want it to it won't go away. I recommend a cermic filling - it's white and unnoticeable and should last for many years if it's done by a dentist who specialises in it.
You don't need to get your tooth pulled - if that is what your dentist says - find another one. Like any purchase - it's well worth shopping around until you find what YOU want.
