Cavities between teeth?
So I guess I haven't been flossing as often as I should.......I went to the dentist today for my annual checkup, she did some x-rays and turns out I have 3 cavities, all between my teeth - in fact they're like double cavities because they're affecting both teeth each time which really sucks, it means technically she'll be drilling and filling SIX teeth!!
Anyway, I've had a few cavities filled before, but they've all been in the top off my teeth, on the chewing surface, this is the first time I've had any between my teeth. I was just wondering, how do they actually fill cavities between your teeth? And where do they drill? Do they drill in from the side or what?

They'll be drilled similar to how the others were done, only from the 'top' they'll go towards the side... hard to explain, would be easier if I could draw a pic!

Cavities between teeth?
if they are between the teeth they will drill on the side of the tooth as much as they need to, then put a sort of very thin plastic separator between your teeth so that the distance between them stays the same and fill. take the plastic thingy out and you're ready to go.
