Holes from cavity still visible even after filling?

Question

i got some fillings done a couple days ago and i noticed on my one tooth i can see the holes still? is it supposed to be like that? i thought they were supposed to fill it?

Answer 1

Yes, normally you shouldn't see "holes" in your teeth if they were filled.  On the other hand, sometimes what may appear to be a hole, is just an indentation and may be part of normal tooth anatomy; in which case it may not need to be filled.

If there was a filling in there before or it is sensitive, you definitely should get it rechecked.  Or, if you just want peace of mind, it won't take the dentist but a few minutes to take a look.

Answer 2

there is not suppose to be a hole. Maybe the filling did not stick. Call and make another appointment to get it filled again.
