I have a hole in my front tooth. What can be done to save my tooth? (Photo)

Question

Paul D. Kantor, DDS · Answer

You have a large cavity (tooth decay) on your front tooth and cavities on it’s neighbors as well. You need to see a dentist as soon as possible. If you don’t see a dentist quickly, you’ll need not just a large filling on that tooth but a root canal or an extraction.

Doug Jopling, DDS · Answer

I am sorry to inform you that you have advanced decay on your front teeth. It is not only on the one you are thinking. You have decay on the adjacent tooth and quite possibly on other teeth.You should make an appointment today with a dentist near you for an examination and x rays so that a treatment plan can be made to treat your needs before pain and infection begin.Good luck.

Nataliya Donskaya, DDS · Answer

There are several treatments available
such as fillings crown and veneers,  but you teeth have to be
evaluated closer to determine if root canal treatment will be
required prior to restoration. X-rays have to be taken to determine
how deep the cavities are and if root canal is really necessary. You
should visit a dentist as soon as possible to prevent fracture or
infection development.
