  • "A great dentist and equally great staff. Dr. Chetan is highly knowledgeable. During our recent visit, he noted the size of my son's tonsils, discussed his sleep pattern in detail and advised us of further actions. Would give them 10 stars if I could. Totally delighted!!"

Rockville Family Dental Office Information

Simple answer as other DDS say YES. Cavities start as small area of dimineralisation and then slowly gets cavitation. Small areas may become demineralization so most dentist will do a wait and watch approach. Inter proximal decay will show up when it is about 60% dimineralisation. Unfortunately in your case it became big. So reevaluate your home care and diet. And just get the tooth fixed before the tooth needs root canal.
