These radiographs are a little blurry when scaled up to a readable size just from the copy & paste process...however, based on just these images alone, it does appear that there is some deep decay on your lower molars, and there does appear to be some evidence...
Hi there, thank you for your question. This can wait until you get home. You should visit your dentist and they will be able to restore the tooth with an aesthetic filling.
Have your dentist smooth it from the front, NOT from the biting edge - that would make it shorter.In our office, we bond some tooth colored filling material into the chip and then smooth it off and polish it up.Done that way, without any real drilling on the tooth, we have seen those fillings...
