Most likely: If you have a huge hole in a tooth, it is almost certainly a huge carious lesion. And it means you likely haven't seen a dentist for a really long time. It's that time now. Call a local dentist for an appointment.

Most likely: Healthy teeth do not have huge holes in them. See a dentist for restorative options.
