Dentist unable to reach my back tooth for filling

[DentalFill]

Hello Everyone

Went to the dentist and truly disappointed to know my back tooth could not be filled because it was not reacheable even after when they pulled my wisdom tooth out.

The tooth is the second molar from the back on my bottom left side jaw (wisdom tooth pulled out so no tooth in my way)

Can an experienced dentist perform a filling on a tooth at the back they cannot see is the question?

As a specialist, I would like to tell you it does happen, but more often with general dentist. Don't fear. Most oral surgeons are skilled in dealing with this situation. Perhaps an X-ray might help in giving us a better idea however; I'd request you to stick to ANY ONE dentist for the treatment. If you have a broken tooth, see your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist can figure out if the break was caused by a cavity, and if the tooth's nerve is in danger. A damaged nerve usually will require root canal treatment. A root canal treatment is not supported as the tooth is usually not accessible by the operator, and the anatomy of the root is highly unpredictable, which makes it difficult to give a predictable result after root canal treatment. In the following cases I would highly recommend extraction, a tooth with no functioning opposing, i.e. the opposing tooth is missing or you don't need it for eating. Also if the all your other teeth are sound you could extract it and take good care of more important ones.
