Why Is There a Hole in My Tooth?
Why Is There a Hole in My Tooth?

Have you noticed a small hole or dark spot in your tooth? Even if it isn't painful, it should never be ignored. A hole in a tooth usually means the tooth has been damaged by decay and needs professional treatment.

Tooth decay develops when bacteria produce acids that gradually dissolve the enamel. If left untreated, the cavity becomes deeper and can reach the nerve, leading to severe pain, infection, and the need for root canal treatment or even tooth removal.

Common Causes

✔ Tooth decay (Dental caries)
✔ Poor oral hygiene
✔ Frequent sugary foods and drinks
✔ Plaque and tartar build-up
✔ Delayed dental treatment

When Should You Visit a Dentist?

✔ You notice a hole or black spot in a tooth
