What's the gary shadow on my tooth Premolar Series 2 of 3

[@torakokoneko]

i really like these videos because i have a lot of fillings (i started needing to get fillings at 5 and needed fillings over and over and i'm 25 now) and it's cool to get an explanation of what it is they're actually doing in my mouth.

[@torakokoneko]

before anyone judges, i have a set of molars that didn't form right because i was really sick when i was little, and chunks started breaking off almost immediately when they grew in, and getting those filled and then dealing with the fillings needing to be replaced over and over is the cause of almost all of my fillings.

[@gabrielaotero1151]

A bit late, but you shouldn’t explain yourself! These things happen to anyone, it happened to me for example. All we can do is continue to brush and floss our teeth :)

[@MissHawes0187]

Me too. I've never had good dental hygiene. But last year I started brushing and flossing every day. I had my silver taken out and white fillings done. Also had bad periodontal disease that is all gone. I'm getting an implant soon. So happy that I just spent 200$ to get a whitening kit now that I'm healthy

I told my dentist 8 years ago there was a shadow between my molars, he said it was nothing. WELP. Now he says I have a huge cavity. Yep. Time to change dentists.

[@7saany]

@Cyll de ughhhhhhh cant even trust these dentists! Nd like who do u believe right? One could just know nothing and the other might just be after your money so

[@bdsouffle]

I'm not siding anyone but I'm still a student and we learn this new classification to diagnose caries. It's not widely used just yet since it's quite new and this "shadow" is included in it. I went to my local dentist the other day and asked to take a look at my tooth since I was sure it's caries despite she claimed she doesn't know what it is. Upon request, she drilled and yes, it was caries. Not all shadows meant caries though. That's why it's quite tricky without additional information like from x-rays.

[@suzanneporter2936]

From age 12 til, say, 17, I underwent around 30 fiilings in my mouth. (No floride water then, few toothpaste choices, no knowledge of floss, etc.) Needless to say, the dental office wasn't my happy place. All that dental work held up quite well til my late 50s. That's when the teeth with large fillings began to crack, such that I've had several root canals and crowns as well as 2 teeth simply pulled. Now at age 72, some of those crowns need replacing. Yikes! Yes, I easily have a $200,000 mouth, but I don't regret doing what was necessary. Moral of the story: take care of your teeth! 🦷😁

Does filling last that long ?

[@alba5580]

Were you able to see the cavity in an x-ray? In the video, it was mentioned it was a "medium" decay so I am curious if it was seen in the x-ray.

[@HCRS95]

You would likely be able to spot this on an x-Ray, it could easily be missed with a visual exam alone, so dentists take routine X-rays of back teeth between 6months-3 years depending on your risk of decay, and these sorts of cavities will get picked up that way

[@Plainguy8]

Is your diet high in sugar with frequent snacking? Your oral habit sounds great, so it's a bummer to hear you suffer from frequent tooth decay. It might be caused by an improper diet. Or, your teeth might be genetically less mineralised or irregularly formed making them susceptible to tooth decay. Did your dentist say anything about it to you?

[@firdausifarahramadhania8645]

@@Plainguy8 yes! my dentist suggested me to consule with ortho specialist

[@HCRS95]

As a general rule oral hygiene will keep your gums healthy, and sugar causes decay. If you never ate any sugar again and never brushed your teeth again you wouldn’t get any more decay, you’d have horrible gums very quickly though. The fluoride in toothpaste will harden teeth and help prevent decay, but the biggest thing you can do is reduce the amount of NME sugars in your diet- fizzy/acidic drinks, sweets, chocolate, sugars/syrups added to drinks/cereals

All the plaques need to be removed otherwise there’s no point.

[@itscloudstrife]

Why remove so much of the tooth?

[@bdsouffle]

In order to put filling, certain criteria must be met. One of it is make sure the tooth has enough retention for a filling. If only remove the tooth structure based on caries extension alone, another caries might occur again due to microleakage, broken filling etc.

[@Kriti2024]

@@bdsouffle Do we need a refilling i.e. change the filling after 5 years even though there's no caries under the filling? As composite fillings have a life of 5 years.

[@bdsouffle]

@@Kriti2024 Depends on the situation and other factors. If there's no caries but there's crack or leakage then yes (if it can't simply be patched up).

I mean I’m pretty sure that’s an actual thing that you can have done right now just really expensive! (my mother wants to get some but it’s not in our finances) Though I don’t know if you mean replacing them as in getting a fake tooth (is possible) or somehow growing a new biological tooth, however I don’t believe the second one is possible yet…

[@SamPedroCactus]

This cavity could have remineralized in a few months. Some xylitol and a nano appetite tooth paste will reveres almost any cavity. If you're in really bad shape (like I was) add some ozonated oil (apply over gums and teeth and floss).

[@jon2141]

This is blatantly not true and you should not spread this information. This 'cavity' has gotten into the DEJ and spread along the Dentin. There is no way this could have been remineralized. What you are spouting is stupid and wrong.

[@SamPedroCactus]

@@jon2141 I know exactly what Im talking about. I have personal experience remineralizing large cavities. There are many books on the subject, you should read up before ignorantly commenting.

[@jon2141]

@@SamPedroCactus I'm a dentist, an expert in teeth and the oral cavity. I am not ignorantly commenting. I can show you many, many research articles saying that you absolutely CANNOT remineralize dentin. You can create secondary or tertiary dentin that may seem like you are remineralizing, but in fact you are not. You are actually creating new dentin in regards to stimulus. Who are you saying that Xylitol and "nano appetite" toothpaste will do anything? You have no clue what you're talking about.

[@SamPedroCactus]

@@jon2141 No wonder you don't know sh*t, your a dentist. My dentist could not believe it either. He was amazed and asked me to write down everything I had done. Dentists don't seem to know anything about oral care or remineralization (maybe because the ADA is suppressing information?) Xylitol helps mouth PH (below 5.5 leads to demineralization) and hydroxyapatite is the primary makeup of dentin and enamel. Makes perfect senes. You probably still recommend fluoride use even though there is no scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness. There are many documented cases with pictures and x-ryas as well as books that show large remineralized cavities. I had three large cavities (one I was told needed to be extracted). I have a hole that will remain in the large one but the surfaces are all remineralized. People like you are withholding info that might help someone avoid a surgical procedure. You need to reeducate yourself and brake away from the old dogma of American dentistry. you should read Ramiel Nagel's book: "Cure tooth decay".

This could have been reversed with proper toothpaste., These types of fillings break down easily and require more dental work in the future. And stay away from sealants. They destroy perfectly good tooth enamel.

[@toothrestorer6588]

@ Dear Jane. That decay extends pretty far beyond the enamel in into the dentin so it’s a little late for demineralization. No enamel is removed for the placement of sealants so please explain how enamel is damaged

[@SamPedroCactus]

Agreed. Even a xylitol mouth rinse would have probably done the job. Some xylitol and a nano appetite tooth paste will reveres almost any cavity.

[@inchristalone25]

@@SamPedroCactus Wrong again. A cavity cannot be saved through xylitol and hydrozyappetite toothpaste. I tried that on an interproximal cavity, with daily waterpik and flossing, and SDF and it progressed to a root abscess. I could have saved that tooth had I gotten the filling from the getgo. Small spots on the enamel might be able to be filled in with, but NOT after it goes through the enamel.

[@SamPedroCactus]

@@inchristalone25 Sounds like you don't have a good understanding of what you are talking about. Xylitol is a Ph buffer and has notting to do with remineralization. There is plenty of documentation of cavities below the enamel being remineralized.

@@SamPedroCactus With xylitol and toothpaste? Show me the data, not Rami Nagel's book. Weston Price was able to remineralize with good diet. But if good diet isn't practiced there would be no amount of xyltiol or toothpaste that will prevent a cavity that goes beyond the enamel to continue progressing. Like I said I was doing, dairy, butter, liver, beef, waterpik, good toothpaste, xylitol gum, and still had decay that kept getting worse because it went beyond the enamel.
