How to get rid of cavities between teeth?
I just saw a dark spot between two of my teeth, which I think is a cavity. It's a bit hard to reach. How can I get rid of cavities between teeth without it getting bigger?

Interdental cavities are very tricky, haan. You won't even realize they are growing until the tooth starts paining. Normal brushing doesn't reach there, so you must start flossing daily, na. But for the existing one, go to a dentist.
Bro, I had this exact issue last month. I thought it was just food stuck, but it was a cavity hiding between my molars. Dentist had to do a small gap filling. Don't wait, it doesn't go away on its own.
I track all my health habits, and adding a water flosser to my routine really helped prevent those gap cavities. But for an active cavity, technology won't help—you need a dentist to clean and seal it.
I literally got so anxious when I saw a dark spot between my front teeth, thinking I'd lose them. But the dentist said it was just a tiny cavity and fixed it quickly. Don't stress too much, just book an appointment.
Yes, cavities between teeth are the worst, ho na. Food gets stuck there constantly and causes bad breath too. Better to get it filled by a dentist before it affects both adjacent teeth.
Don't buy into those random hacks like rinsing with apple cider vinegar to cure deep cavities. It will actually erode your enamel more. Only a dentist can clear decay from between teeth safely.

As someone who works in healthcare, I always advise people not to ignore cavities between teeth. They can spread silently to the root. Brush twice and use interdental brushes, but do see a dentist to treat the current cavity.
I can barely keep my eyes open at night, let alone floss between every single tooth. But honestly, that's how I got two cavities last year. Just go to a dentist, get them filled, and then buy those easy flossing sticks to avoid doing it again.
