You can reverse early tooth decay, but the window of opportunity is small. Once a hole forms, you need professional help. Maintaining good oral hygiene and addressing gum pain or sensitivity early gives you the best chance of avoiding the drill.
Looking in the mirror and noticing that your gums have changed colour can be a worrying experience.
