Can cavities go away naturally?
My relative claims she reversed a small cavity by changing her diet and using some natural remedies. I'm skeptical but curious. Can cavities go away naturally or do they always need a dentist?

Please don't worry too much about this. While early enamel weakness can sometimes be reversed with good hygiene, a proper deep cavity needs a dentist to clean and fill it. Just book a quick appointment so you can stay comfortable and pain-free.
Haan na, I also thought the same when my tooth started hurting. But actually, once the enamel is gone and a proper cavity forms, it cannot heal on its own. Better to visit a dentist before the pain gets worse, ho na?
I totally understand why you are hoping they go away on their own, as dental visits used to give me massive anxiety too. But ignoring it only made my stress worse in the long run. Taking that first step to see a professional really helped ease my mind, and the procedure is usually much simpler than we fear.
Technically, very early stage demineralization can be halted with fluoride and superb oral hygiene, but once a physical cavity or hole forms, it is permanent decay. A dentist is the best person to diagnose how deep it is and advise you on the next steps.

Honestly, they don't go away by themselves once they form. I ignored a tiny black spot on my molar for months hoping brushing extra would fix it, and ended up needing a painful root canal. My advice is to get a simple filling done now to save your time and money later.
