What are the different kinds of teeth cavities?
A tooth has many surfaces and some people describe the decay by where it is on the tooth. The cavities the dentist can see by a clinical exam are on the chewing surfaces of the teeth and on the gumline area. There are some tooth decay cavities that are formed between the teeth due to lack of flossing. For these cavities, the dentist must take an x-ray to find them. You cannot see them by looking or feeling with the "pick". Another type of tooth decay is something that happens to an injured tooth called "internal resorption". The dentist also needs to take an x-ray to find this, unless the decay eats it way out of the tooth and shows at the gumline.
Many people say that they encounter lots of problems right after their wisdom teeth grew Do wisdom teeth always cause problems?
No. If there is enough room they will usually come through into a useful position and cause no more problems than any other tooth. Often there will be some slight discomfort as they come through, but this is only temporary and will disappear once the tooth is fully in position.
