Hole above canine teeth keeps getting bigger, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dentist: Left untreated, a cavity will get worse and eventually destroy the entire tooth. Restoration of the carious lesion is the most effective method to control the progress of active tooth decay. See your dentist ASAP for examination, x-ray and treatment.
