Got a dental question for ya'll
So after I got done brushing my teeth today, I noticed that their seemed to be a "hole" in my right upper wisdom tooth (which is about 3/4 "in"). This was on the front part of the tooth, next to the gumline. I'm fiddling around this hole with my tounge and little pieces of what I can only assume used to be part of my tooth are coming loose and making the hole bigger. Is this a cavity or what? I'm going to try and get into the dentist ASAP (early next week) but I'm kind of curious as to what's going. I've never had a cavity before so I don't have anything to compare this with. Also, it doesn't hurt... yet. I'm a little concerned about the appropriate course of action if it does start to hurt tomorrow (sunday) when there is zero chance of getting to a dentist.
Thanks.
