I have a hole in my tooth!!?

Question

ahh! i have a little hole in my tooth! it's on the left middle top tooth. it kinda sticks out and it's a little slanted, and i can see a little hole in the top side of it. should i brush there still? i'm afraid it will get chipped or something! help! i'm going to see a dentist soon. but what should i do for the time being??

Answer 1

please brush it with a flouride toothpaste to keep the cavity from increasing and see your local dentist to fix the hole as soon as possible.

Answer 2

if you see a dentist soon, the hole won't get much worse in the meantime if you don't brush it. but don't delay seeing the dentist any longer than you have to.
