Don't wait: Waiting will make things worse, as the hole gets bigger, it will become more difficult to fix, it may need additional,procedure if it becomes painful and gets to the nerve and it will cost you more. You need to call and visit the dentist to get more specific information about your tooth and about the cost as price and procedure will vary depending on the condition of your tooth.

Front tooth hole: Get to a dentist ASAP and get this tooth fixed. It can be an easy procedure for you, pain free, but the longer you wait the more complex( and more costly) this can be. Discuss your concerns and apprehension with your dentist. Most dentist will have payment options so discuss this also.

Carious lesion: A small hole is very easy and somewhat inexpensive to restore, in comparison to a lesion that is ignored and allowed to fester and grow. Call a local dentist ASAP for a consultation... you will be told what treatment you need and how much it will cost.

Afraid of the DDS?: One of the best ways to overcome dentist fear is to find a dentist that is friendly, experienced and understands your needs. Sedation dentist is the answer. You’ll receive just enough sedation so that you’ll be completely unaware of the treatment, painless and safe as you would if you were asleep. Call your dentist today for appointment.

Go now: Dentist will numb the tooth, remove the decay, and replace the missing tooth structure with a tooth colored filling. The sooner you go, the smaller the area of damage, the easier and less expensive the "fix." Don't be scared. Dentist's are superbly trained and experienced in helping people with problems just like yours. Go for it.
