A tooth fell and I have a hole between my teeth. It is not painful but I am afraid of an infection. Where should I go?
If a tooth has fallen out and left a hole, even if it's not painful, it's important to have it checked to avoid future complications.
You can go to any general dentist, they can examine the area, assess the situation, and recommend the best option, whether it's a filling, a temporary solution, or planning for something like an implant, bridge, or partial denture if needed.
Don’t wait too long, even without pain. getting a professional opinion early can prevent more complex problems later.
at the dentist
Hello. If your entire tooth fell, roots included, find a periodontist(Parodontologue). If the roots are still in the jaw, then call your dentist and ask for a crown, a bridge, or an implant. Have a good day.
