A tiny cavity: A simple filling which is quick, painless, and cheap. Ignoring it: If you leave it, the decay digs deeper into the tooth and hits the nerve, causing a throbbing toothache. Now you need a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) and a crown, which costs more and takes multiple visits. Waiting even longer: If the tooth rots beyond saving, it has to be pulled out. Replacing a missing tooth with an implant or bridge can cost even more .
