I have a 30 year old cavity between my front teeth. It is miraculously not visible from the front. You can only see it if you use a mirror and look behind my teeth. I have had dentists up and down the East Coast of America try to get me to agree to having it filled. I have always said no, since I was 15 years old. Keep in mind, the cavity is still not visible when I smile and hasn't grown hardly at all. Why? I don't understand that?

Recently, I found a fabulous dentist and he also insists that a filling is the right thing to do. The problem is that I really trust his work, and I have an appointment set for this 30 year cavity. I am having panic attacks about it, and I would like for someone to clearly outline specific answers to help me keep focused on what is the correct thing to do. Please and thank you!

What are the risks if I have it filled?
