Actual decay?

    Hello :)

    I recently had to change my dentist, and the new dentist said that there's decay between my right central and lateral incisors. I brush 3 times a day after meals, and I'm surprised that I have a decay going on in that area (he told me that there's no other problem in my mouth). I'm aware that naked eyes cannot catch everything, but to me it looks perfectly fine, and I don't want to drill something that's not problematic.

    Attached is my x-ralso of the same teeth. He was pointing out the grey area, but I thought that was just from the angle of the x-ray and how the teeth are overlapping. Do you actually think that there's decay going on?

    Understanding of dental health principles, it is plausible that there could be decay present despite your diligent oral hygiene practices. The grey area noted by your dentist on the X-ray should not be dismissed without further investigation or discussion about potential treatment options.
