Okay, I wanted to talk to Sunny about a reply to a post on the subject of cavities. Sunny, find me...lol, I wanted to tell you about a cavity my husband had that started on the outside(I know thats true) but was the size of a pin point...and traveled into the inside of his tooth, back tooth, and rotted the whole inside of his tooth and it wasnt visible on the outside. His first clue to even knowing he had a cavity was pain in his tooth even though it wasnt visible..the whole inside of his tooth was rotten. I wanted to share that with the original poster because I thought maybe that could be what was going on with them too, just to be on the safe side.

That's amazing Angel. I've never heard of a case like your hubbies, as it should be obvious to the dentist, that the enamel has changed. I hope your hubby has changed dentist's, as you'd have to question the person's skill and x-ray equipment, for something like that to be mixed.

Occasionally when a person has toothache and a cavity can't be found easily, a dentist will request that more indepth x-rays to be done. Hair line fractures are difficult to detect, but don't often become cavities.

I believe it's important to 'shop' round for a dentist you trust and can communicate well with. Plus never be afraid to seek further advice from another professional, if you're not confident with what you're being told.
