Hello,
I think I have caries between two teeth — between the first molar and the second premolar. Can this be treated/filled somehow?
Kind regards,
Barbara

Dear Sir/Madam!

Approximal caries (decay at the contact between two neighboring teeth) is the pathology in the oral cavity that is most often overlooked. Statistically, almost 30% of these problems are reportedly not detected during a clinical examination, which is why the doctrine recommends occasional imaging using the so-called bitewing technique, or at least a panoramic X-ray. Dental caries can be removed relatively easily and the cavity filled with an amalgam or composite filling.

Have a nice day!
