What to do if there is a hole in the tooth that hurts

Some people have a hole in their teeth, but they never paid much attention to it before. Until it caused frequent pain, sometimes so painful that I couldn't sleep all night. So I usually avoided chewing with the side with the cavity and chose to use the teeth on the other side to chew food. Later, it gradually developed to the point where the pain would be unbearable if a little food was stuffed into the cavity while eating.

1. The harm of having holes in teeth

The teeth have already developed caries (cavities) and are developing in a serious direction. Treatment should be sought in time. If the treatment is delayed, the tooth may not be able to be preserved. Not only will you experience toothache, but it will also lose its normal chewing function and slowly decay bit by bit. In severe cases, it will cause a systemic inflammatory response, with very serious consequences.
