Small painless cavity in between my teeth. should i do something about it?

Yes: Small cavities only get bigger with time. It's better to have them treated sooner rather than later. Patients who wait until they have pain end up with bigger costs, less tooth structure, and more grief.

Yes: These small cavities will eventually become painful and increase in size. A simple early treatment of the cavity can prevent a potential root canal in the future.
