What did I do to my tooth?!?!
Question: What did I do to my tooth!?!!?
Got a question that I'd really like someone knowledgeable to answer - so here goes! :)
Ok, so I live on my own and don't have much money, so I haven't been to the dentist in about 1!.5 years!. I got a little money and am about to schedule an appointment!. Several months ago I bought a little teeth cleaning set, which included a scaler (I think that's what they're called) for removing plaque!. Well I was doing this, trying to be gentle, but apparently I wasn't careful enough!. I must have scraped through my enamel or something!?! I don't know but I'm really worried that I've messed up my tooth :(

Answers:
You didn't do anything!. That is a cavity at your gum line!. You will end up getting it filled with a bonded filling that will match the color of the tooth!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
