Yooyh Decay
From the photos, I can see multiple molars with obvious dark/brown areas and holes in the chewing surfaces, particularly the back teeth. These are very suspicious for dental cavities (caries), and some look fairly deep. However, a photo cannot tell whether the decay has reached the nerve/root, so an examination plus dental X-rays is important before deciding between a filling, root canal, or extraction. I Indian Dental Association +1 What may be happening A cavity generally progresses roughly like this: Enamel decay → dentin decay → deep decay near pulp/nerve → infection/abscess If the cavity is still restorable without pulp involvement, the dentist removes the diseased tooth structure and places a filling.

If a tooth cannot be predictably restored, extraction may be considered. N nhs.uk +2 Treatment possibilities Situation Typical treatmen...
