Can it wait?

I hope you remember the beginning of the saga about the damage done to
my teeth while a dentist was doing a reline of my partial.  I have
found a dentist who was highly recommended as one of the best around.
He is, however, very busy because he is so good.  I set up an
appointment with him on January 5.  My question is if this is safe for
me to wait this long to have the damaged teeth examined.  Is there a
chance that it could begin to decay in this amount of time?  I don't
think the scoring done by the drill is very deep, and it doesn't
hurt.  There is a dentist I have seen before, but couldn't continue
with because his prices are so high.  He's a real nice guy.  Should I
see him first and then just leave the appointment with the new guy as
a get-acquainted visit?

    No way to tell for sure.  But unless you decay very quickly, it would
be unusual to decay in that short time.  Keep it clean.  If you begin to
have pain, have it looked at sooner.  I think from your description that
it is unlikely to be serious damage.

Thanks, Steve.  You always come through with an answer.  I appreciate
it.  I will start using the prevident toothpaste just in case.  It
doesn't hurt now.  It only hurt while it was happening.  I don't think
it's serious either.  It doesn't seem to be very deep.  I think it
would hurt if it were deep into the tooth.
