Hello Doctor , My family was recently treated by a dentist declaring that we had holes in our teeth. I did not believe him but my mom convinced us to make a second appointment to get our teeth filled. My family have beautiful almost perfect teeth to the eyes. My question is, how does a dentist discover these hole in the teeth?
Helloactually we as a layman can see only those holes in our teeth that occur on the causal surface of the teeth but a dentist can locate hole between two teeth which is not visible by naked eye by running a probe and getting a catch point also he/she has aid of radiograph which easily shows carious lesion between two teeth so don't worry, your dentist is qualified enough and if he says that you need a filling than get it done because that will prevent you from future discomfort hope that helps
