Is it truly possible to have maggots in your gums? If so what are the causes, how is this possible. I recently watched a video on youtube of a dentist removing a mans teeth to reveal maggots. This not only is probably the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, but it is also quite alarming to me as I didnt know that this could happen. I have several cavities I have not had filled, so as you could assume I am very concerned. Please help!
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have cavities in your teeth, having cavities doesn't means having maggots, you have Caries which results in Cavity, You go to dentist and get it restored, if it is deep go for Root canal treatment, don't worry go for Local examination and Investigations IOWA x-rays Hope this will help you.  Wishing you good health.  Regards
