So, my first molar on the bottom is a baby tooth that unfortunately has such a massive cavity that it needs to be removed. It causes me serious pain every other day or every few days. I will be getting it pulled within the next few weeks (I am in Paris for three months and the wait times here are horrible. The dentist wants the opinion of a specialist because he stated that it could be a difficult tooth to extract...
But, I have another concern. I have a few very small cavities...and he did an x-ray of all my teeth, but said none of them were big (except the one) Well there is an upper molar (second from the back) that is causing me some pain...like, it hurts but I can deal with the throbbing ache. He said the cavity was small but there is definitely a little hole in the side of the tooth. Can a little cavity really cause pain like this? It's kind of worrying me a bit. This is the second dentist I saw here in France and both of them say the cavity is small in this tooth and there is no infection. I will be getting it filled...but I would like a second opinion from people online who have dealt with small cavities and the pain.
Any insight would be great, thanks!
