Caption
On top an X-ray examination, and X-ray image which reveals carious lesions on posterior molars.
In the middle a row of teeth showing diligent use of toothpicks, and filed front teeth.
On the bottom a filed hole from the crown of the tooth into the pulp – a procedure that reduces toothache and infection.
