i think i can feel a hole or gap in the side crease of a tooth. there is no dark brown or black or decay like symptom. it just feels like a gap. has anyone experienced this? thanks.
Is it possible to have a hole with no decay in your tooth?
I'm a certified dental assistant, and I actually have this on a couple of my teeth. Some teeth just have very deep grooves and it may feel like a hole. Also, teeth can have notches or enamel defects that just need to be watched because they can turn into cavities. If the spot on your tooth is not decay but still bothers you ask your dentist about getting a sealant. Just remember brush 3 times a day and floss at least once a day!!
Reply:Yes. One of my wisdom teeth came in with a whole in it. Have it filled. It will turn into a cavity.
