What is the solution to a hole INSIDE the tooth?
The solution for a hole inside the tooth, also known as a cavity, is typically a dental filling. This involves removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling the space with a material such as composite resin or amalgam to restore the tooth's structure and function. It is important to address cavities promptly to prevent further damage and potential infection.
How do you remove a space retainer held in by dental cement at home?
Not a good idea. Even if the space retainer is on a 'baby' tooth, it is meant to hold the space of the missing tooth until the adult tooth erupts. If the space retainer is on another 'baby tooth', that could damage or even cause the tooth be be extracted early also-the very reason you had the space maintainer in the first place. If it is afixed to a permanent tooth, there could be irreplacable damage. Have your dentist look at it. They should be the determining factor, and besides no matter how gentle you try to be, it's still going to be uncomfortable for the child.
If the Dentist says the tooth cracked because of grinding and not because of the filling he put in 2 weeks ago is this correct?
it is most likely the tooth had a small crack in it anyway. the tooth was alittle"high"from the new filling and the extra pressure from biting on it, cracked the tooth. usually after a new filling, you should go back to have the filling polished which strengthens the filling and adjusts the bite.

What is the difference between normal tooth cavity filling and root canal treatment?
A filling is a way to restore or repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or a fracture that has not reached the pulp chamber of the tooth. If the damage has reached the pulp chamber (the interior of the tooth where the nerve and blood supply are located) a root canal procedure needs to be done.In a simple filling, the decayed part of the tooth is removed and the space is filled and carved to resemble the natural shape of the tooth. In a root canal procedure, the decay is removed along with the nerve and the blood supply. The space is filled with a rubber material called gutta percha. Following a root canal, the tooth frequently needs to be restored with a crown because the tooth will become brittle and at risk of fracturing.A root canal is more involved than a filling and generally will cost more and sometimes take more than one appointment to complete.
