Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suspect taht your tooth was underfilled or the filling in your tooth is weared out. A visit to the concerned Dentist is required, refilling of the tooth can be done.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, brush teeth twice daily, and use antiseptic mouthwash rinses twice daily.

Take care!

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Filling has fractured resulting in holes in teeth.

Get them restored if possible.

If the hole is too large,get the tooth placed with crown.

Care must be be taken while chewing food/biting using the filled tooth.

Take care.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
I would like to tell you that your tooth was under-filled. It has lead to dislodgement of filling & may lead to food lodgement. It requires refilling.
You also need to maintain proper oral hygiene & brush twice daily.
Also go for chlorhexidine mouthwash.

Take Care
Regards

Hi
As per your details, it seems that your tooth was under filled. Or
Sometimes improper cavity preparation leaves unsupported enamel which is brittle and breaks off easily.
You need to consult your dentist for follow up.
Refilling can be done and follow prescription.
Maintain oral hygiene.
Take care

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Hole in the teeth post treatment could be the result of dislodged filling,or could be due to a new cavity arsing there too.

therefore, i would suggest you to visit your dentist for recheck up of those fillings for the cause and further refilling of the same.

Meanwhile maintain good oral hygiene.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care
