Hole in my tooth with no pain?!
Question: Hole in my tooth with no pain?
When I went to rinse my mouth out, I put my hand in my mouth and felt a hole in my tooth.
I don't know how long it's been there because I feel absolutely no pain at all.
The biggest problem is, I have no dental insurance anymore, so getting this checked and fixed it gonna cost me A LOT.
Anyone ever hear of this problem before?

Sounds like you lost a filling.
Any sort of hole leaves the tooth vulnerable to decay.
Even though it doesn't hurt you should get this looked at as soon as possible. The longer you wait the more it is going to cost you.
If you are lucky all you will need is a new filling. If you leave it, you could be looking at a root canal or might even loose the tooth.

Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.
Individual & Family Health Plans
This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose.
Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months.
YOu are not the only person who have ever met this kind of problem,I met this type of problem before.I have good experience here www.HealthInsuranceFree.info/dental.html to solve the problem.
As u said there is a hole n u feel no pain at all it
revels that the pulp is not exposed n u should go
for restoration as early as possible because it goes
on increasing..
if u think that restoration will come out u can go for
capping of tooth
Dont worry its not too late.
