How to get rid of cavities at home?
I've been noticing some sensitivity in my teeth lately, and I'm pretty sure I have a cavity. I'm a bit scared of the dentist right now. Are there any reliable ways to get rid of cavities at home?

Honestly, you cannot reverse a proper cavity just by diet or lifestyle. But to prevent further decay, cutting down on sweet sticky foods and rinsing after every vegetarian meal helps. Definitely see a dentist for the actual cavity.

Please don't believe those YouTube videos saying oil pulling or salt water can cure a deep cavity. Once the tooth enamel is gone, only a dentist can clean and fill it. Go get it checked before you need a painful root canal.

You can't cure cavities at home once they start. You need a dentist to clean it properly.

Since I deal with PCOS, I am always careful about what home remedies I try as my body is already sensitive. With teeth, I think it is best not to experiment too much. Better to visit a dentist early and get a simple filling done.
