Question:
Cavity below gum line: Can cavities below gum line be filled so that the tooth does not have to be pulled? ... Visitor from VA
Answer:
It depends on the tooth location, biting forces and whether or not the integrity of the tooth is compromised
by excavating the site. Preparing a tooth for a filling can sometimes cause loss of tooth structure where it is needed the most.
If risk of failure is present, you will probably have difficulty finding a dentist willing to do it.
