Question:
i think i have a really bad cavity in the back of my mouth on one of the top molars since it hurts. but how can i see my tooth? it would have a dark spot if i had a cavity. can you give me ideas on how to look at my tooth up and back there?
Answers:
If you go to a large pharmacy like Boots or Superdrug, they sell those little mirrors that the dentist uses to look at your upper teeth. They cost a few pounds, not much. Otherwise, look around the house for a small mirror, and use that - look in a normal mirror and stick the small one in your mouth so that you can see the affected tooth. But whether or not you can see anything, if your tooth hurts you need to see a dentist!!
