Tooth cavity
A couple of days ago, I thought something was stuck between my teeth, and I flossed and a small part of tooth apparently had broken and came out. It seems to be because of a decayed tooth. The tooth is a premolar. When I feel it with my tongue there seems to be a hole, and the edges are a little sharp. There is mild sensitivity, and barely there heavy feeling, as if something is odd. But no pain as of yet.
Since all the clinics are closed, I was wondering what I could do to avoid from decaying of the tooth further, and or any infection. I have been flossing regularly, using a mouthwash, and rinsing my mouth properly after every meal.
