UUnH1ng3d replylemmy.worldThanks. I didn't know anything about cavities until two days ago. I wish I did, I probably could have stopped them forming easily 😅2
ALERT sh.itjust.works3Hide 3 repliesI have exactly the same stage on the same teeth. my dentist said we should watch them every 6 months. if they do not grow they can be avoided. if they grow - they should be removed.7
UUnH1ng3d replylemmy.world2Hide 2 repliesI will go to a dentist but hopefully this means I can wait at least a month to go 👍 Thank you.2
ALERT replysh.itjust.works1Hide 1 replyI have them in the same state for years so yeah, you can wait a month :)2

UUnH1ng3d replylemmy.worldThanks. That sounds like great advice but my worry is the irreversible damage more than cost 🥲1

UUnH1ng3d replylemmy.world2Hide 2 repliesThanks. This is my favorite answer 😂 If it is decay, is it possible it can recover on its own, or is that just wishful thinking?1

Unlikely to fix on its own.
Thank you
