Dental care, Slowing down tooth decay
I went to the dental and was told I have a hole in my back molar. I am to go back in two weeks to do a full evaluation but right now it looks like I will be needing a root canal and crown done. I did not have it done at the time because I only went in for a cleaning and had very little time left before I had to go to work.
I am not in any type of pain from this tooth but I am worried that the tooth decay will get worse and cause my molar to brake for the next dental visit to fix it. Is there anything I can do to protect the tooth until then ? Advise please.

Well it good that the tooth is not hurting you. If your dental appointment is coming up soon just eat carefully. Try not to chew hard things and do not chew on that side of your mouth. Other then that not much you can do.

I agree you can only be careful until you next dental appointment. There is nothing you can do to make the tooth stronger and you really do not want to be messing with it anyway.
