i have a cavity that you can see?
currently i am out of my country and can't see a dentist until july. my dentist knows that i have a cavity on one of my top front teeth... it became that way b/c it was chipped due to the fact that i grind my teeth. i noticed today that i could see it start to show (a dull dark spot showing thru to the frot). im scared bc i cant do anything about it for a few months. will it get incredibly worse looking within the next 3 months or so, or will my july appointment be good enough? there is no possible way for me to see a dentist sooner than july. will i look awful before then???
im hoping that brushing 2x a day and avoiding sugar will be enough to prevent it from getting to the point where ill be embarrased to smile. there is no dentist here (im working remotely on a small island and taking a plane home just to see the dentist is really expensive). do you think that within three months it could get so bad that itll be really noticeable? i mean right now im pretty sure that i can only notice it.

Don't freak out! Make sure to keep it clean, brush it gently 2 x per day; avoid putting pressure on that area by eating in that spot or any other type of way(like using your tooth as a tool) - hopefully it will keep til July- there is no way to know about teeth- sometimes they have a mind of their own. It does seem like these things happen at the worst times, doesn't it?

sorry but it will probably get worse as time goes by. how come you can't see a dentist until July?
