<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello Doctor , My family was recently treated by a dentist declaring that we had holes in our teeth. I did not believe him but my mom convinced us to make a second appointment to get our teeth filled. My family have beautiful almost perfect teeth to the eyes. My question is, how does a dentist discover these hole in the teeth?  <response>: Helloactually we as a layman can see only those holes in our teeth that occur on the causal surface of the teeth but a dentist can locate hole between two teeth which is not visible by naked eye by running a probe and getting a catch point also heshe has aid of radiograph which easily shows carious lesion between two teeth so dont worry, your dentist is qualified enough and if he says that you need a filling than get it done because that will prevent you from future discomfort hope that helps
