if a cavity JUST formed in your mouth, would there be a way to fix it yourself??

Question

this is probably a stupid question, but ive always wondered.....

Answer 1

If tooth decay just started in the enamel, it can be re-mineralized if you maintain good oral hygiene.

Once it breaches the enamel and into the dentin, one would need a dentist to drill out the decay and fill the tooth. Decay that has reached the dentin is deep, and you cannot fix it yourself.

6 month checkups are important-- Decay will show up on the x-rays and let you catch the cavities while they are still small and easy to repair.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes, I've had about three VERY small cavities over the years and I managed to get rid of them by myself. When I first see the small black spots I would brush very well after every single thingie I eat. Also, I've heard that raw eggplants and chedder cheese help you get rid of cavities when they first start to form, so I eat them whenever I see a small black spot, even though I almost totally believe that the eggplant and chedder thing is just a myth, but I feel comfortable eating them and believe it actually helps get rid of cavities (my nightmares).

Answer 3

Severe dental problems start in simple bad cavity, bleeding or strange pain on one of your teeth or the gum-line, but it could threaten your health and worst could kill you. Before it's too late, get dental health care advices and solutions at http://www.themouthdoctor.com/dentalhealthcare/dentalhealthcare.htm and free yourself from the dangers of dental problems.

Answer 4

Rarely do you even know when a cavity first forms unless
it is on a front tooth and deep.

And NO you cannot.

Answer 5

No unless you want to use an actual drill that you use for wood. Sure It will hurt a lot.
