Dental Issues - can teeth heal?
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 2:56 pm
A few years ago my dentist located a small cavity in the middle of a molar. She suggested that I have it filled, but I didn't have much money at the time so we opted to seal it instead ($20 vs. $150).
I was at the dentist yesterday and asked about the cavity and got a blank look. There is still record of it in my files, but there is no evidence of it in my mouth -- the molar appears to have healed.
Or was it possibly a missdiagnosis?
Anybody know anything about this sort of thing -- can teeth heal themselves????
