Hello doctor, I am 27 years old and have not seen a dentist since I was 18. I have a hole that has started to develop in one of my top teeth (although I have not experienced pain from it) and believe it is due to a cavity or gum disease. I use spitting tobacco and know I have other teeth issues. But, I am firstly concerned about the hole in the tooth. The question is not whether I should see a dentist (I obviously should and will), but what I should specify as the reason for visiting the dentist. Should I specify cleaning checkup, broken tooth, or cavity?
Hello. I have gone through your clinical images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Hope my answer will help you. For more information consult a dentist online -->
