What Happens if You Don’t Get a Tooth Filling?
Ignoring a decayed or damaged tooth can lead to serious dental problems:
- Increased Decay: The cavity can grow, affecting deeper layers of the tooth.
- Tooth Pain & Sensitivity: Exposed nerves can cause discomfort while eating or drinking.
- Infection & Abscess: Untreated decay can lead to infection and abscess formation.
- Tooth Loss: Severe damage may require extraction if left untreated.
