With dental cavities below gum line, is it better to pull back the gum and fill the cavity or put a crown? (Photo)

Root cavities under the gum, needs to be treated on priority level. If the dentist feels that he can retract the gum and remove all the cavities, by all means, restore them by using bonding procedure! Crown may be necessary depending on how much sound tooth structure is remaining! If the dentist can not easily get to the cavity under the gum, then seek periodontist consult for possible gum surgery.

Hi;If the cavities are not too large, the  filling option is best, however if the cavites are large and near the near its best to do crowns.Best,Dr. Maddahi
