why is it that you can break a piece of a tooth and it doesn’t need fixing, but if you have the tiniest cavity it has to get filled ASAP?

Many dentists will use language that minimizes the severity of the issue to keep the patient from either feeling like shit or hating the dentist because they “have perfect teeth”.
