A member asked:
My dentist made a visible scratch behind front tooth by mistake with the drill 4 months ago. now i have a mild pain. what dental job is required next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scratch: Was this on your gum tissue or the tooth? After four months, the gum should have certainly healed, and a superficial scratch on the enamel should not hurt at all. The pain may be due to another problem. Have that area examined.
