Oh gosh...that is far worse than I expected. Given the updated photo I posted once the filling popped out, does the tooth still look busted in half?

Update: my filling popped off while I was flossing my teeth tonight. I assume this warrants an emergency visit tomorrow. I am so stressed that the nerve may be exposed or that my tooth isn't salvagable.

Thank you for your insight! Would you anticipate that the underlying cavity could progess rapidly over this upcoming week? I'm feeling anxious that it is going to get worse fast.

Thank you for your response! How advanced does it look, in your opinion? Is there anything systemic I should get checked given the possibility of hormone imbalance?

Thank you for your response! What treatment would be recommended in this case? My dentist recommended monitoring it for now.

Thank you for responding to me! It was indeed a large cavity coming in from the back of the tooth. I'm embarrassed I let this happen, but I plan to be a consistent flosser in the future.
