“Two cavities, one tooth, big decay?”
Today while cleaning I noticed that on the buccal side of the same tooth (in that pesky groove) there is a minuscule hole that visually enters the tooth with a tiny dot of black at the end.
Images attached.
So, A) another cavity, which I wrote to my dentist studio about, but B) does this mean there's basically no healthy tooth under there?
That is, I read that if you have a buccal cavity, others appear on different surfaces of the tooth when it gets really large. Or can two cavities appear on different surfaces of a tooth and develop at different speeds?
If it helps, I still have no sensitivity to hot or cold, nor pressure pain or spontaneous pain. Though I also worry that my nerves are just dead and when the dentist starts drilling the whole thing will just collapse.
Can you tell I'm a worrier?
