- Brush twice daily
- Use mouthwash at night
- Clean that tooth after every meal
You can keep your teeth clean and prevent caries but once a tooth gets cavity it is impossible to treat it at home.
The above methods may help slow the progress of caries.
Eventually you will have to get it filled or if you wait long enough the tooth might even need Root canal treatment.
Next Steps
- Maintain oral hygiene.
- Visit dentist
Health Tips
the earlier tooth caries are treated the cheaper they are to treat.
As the disease progresses its treatment starts getting complicated and time consuming.
So it's better to take care of caries at an early stage.

Start using remineralizing toothpastes like sensodyne repair and protect or sensodent k plus to help with the initial decay. Brush twice daily and floss properly to maintain oral hygiene.

You need to visit dentist and get it filled. Later on you can maintain other teeth with good oral care. This cavity cannot be treated by home remedies.
