A member asked:
Something fell out of my cavity, what could it have been?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tooth piece/filling: When a cavity becomes larger and spreads internally, the outer shell of the tooth known as the enamel, becomes non-supported and may fracture off, which could be what fell out. It is also possible, an old filling that became undermined by the cavity became loose and fell out.
