Is anyone having cavity on your molar
without a trace of any infection.?Can I
leave the cavity unattended where I have
some occasional sensitivity when in
contact with lemon substance. Is there
anyone who has left unattended without
trouble for long. Is there any real need
to go to dentist unless there is infection
on cavity. Can anyone with a cavity but
without infection guide whether there is
harm or no harm to leave the tooth
unattended and if so how long? At what
later date I can see a dentist if I do not
need to see a dentist at this stage?Would
appreciate help.Bye

There's no way you could have a cavity in
a tooth without having had the caries (or
infection) actually make the hole. As
long as it left untreated, it will
continue to get worse and worse, possibly
resulting in exposing the nerve in the
jawbone, which as I understand is
excruciating pain. No cavities should be
left unattended as you are risking the
entire dental health of all your teeth.
It could be that you don't see any
infection because it hasn't gotten really
bad yet, so that part would be good.
