A small hole in your front tooth can be a frightening situation. You may be wondering if it can be fixed and if others will notice it. You don’t have to worry – there are solutions to make it look as good as before! Before fixing the hole, however, you should locate what caused it in the first place so you can discontinue the harmful practice.

Possible Causes for a Small Hole in Front Tooth:

How to fix it

Schedule an appointment with your dentist and get the hole checked out as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the larger the hole will be — which will be more expensive to fill. If it gets too bad, the dentist may have to remove it. Hopefully, you have not reached the point where extraction is the only option left. The dentist has a great solution to fix small holes that are discovered early. There are tooth-colored and white fillings that can be used to fill in the hole and make it look similar to the surrounding teeth.

Brush your teeth and floss regularly to keep further cavities from springing up. In addition, regular cleanings from a dentist may be worth the money to keep cavities from forming in the future.
