That would have taken a long time to develop to that size.   Maybe see a dentist more regularly and you will not lose the tooth.

This was the top left wisdom tooth and I had no idea it was like this because I could neither see nor feel it. Don't know how long it took to get like this, and since I have not had any other problems I haven't had a need to go to a dentist.

Yesterday he has discovered I have got other problems caused by dry mouth. So while the rest of my teeth are currently okay, if we had not discovered it in time he said all my other teeth will decay and crumble. So now I have to use this dry mouth gel and spray **bleep** and get flouride treatment and all this biz. Gonna cost an **bleep**load.
