Painless cavity in wisdom tooth?
Howdy!
A large but completely painless cavity has appeared in my wisdom tooth.
I'm going to the Dentist on Friday but I'm freaking out a little bit since this is my first cavity and first trip to the dentists office in like 10 to 11 years.
My main worry is that the cavity looks REALLY deep. Like from the part of my teeth that is showing above my Gums it seems to take up like half (you can even see the black parts from the outside because it is very much near the edge of the crown of the tooth).
Do you think they'll want to take it out? Should I be worried about any complications?
It seems deep but there is no pain so I'm hoping it hasn't reached any of the softer parts in my tooth?

I have the dentist drill without pain killer, its a twinge or two nothing more.
If you have dental insurance they usually don't take it out but grind down the tooth so you just have a post then cap it. I got a cap last month it pretty painless unless you can't deal with a little pain it wont' be a big deal. But it is expensive, if you have no insurance they will pull it, it heals over and you go on with the rest of your life.
