Deep cavities (close to the nerve) requires root canal treatment. If your cavity is not much deep filling can be done. So kindly consult your dentist & plan accordingly.

There is no way that you can get rid of the problem arising from your teeth by your own ,you have to see the dentist and only a dentist can evaluate your problem and advise you a dental filling, R C T or extraction. If you delay the treatment it will only complicate the matters.

Apply topical fluoride and consult a dentist. A stitch in time saves nine. If you get filling done at the right te you would save a RCT.

Hi lybrate-user. Not every decaying tooth needs pulling out or root canal. The thumb rule lies in early intervention. A simple filling can stop further decay. Visit a dentist without further delay. Regards.

Once a tooth starts decaying, it can't be reversed back to its previous condition unless treated. You have to get it checked from a dentist. He might advise you to undergo filling or RCT depending upon the severity of decay. Extraction or taking out the tooth is always the last option for treatment if it can't be conserved.

Hello dear. You should go to a dentist and get filling done. The only way to prevent your teeth from RCT. Moreover you can use a toothpaste that contains fluoride with 1000ppm concentration twice daily.

If already decayed then only dental filling is the option, if the infection reached to the pulp then RCT is the only option.

If there is decay Kindly get it filled asap. Otherwise it can go deeper and lead to pulpal infections, then it will lead to root canal treatment and crowns/extraction (pulling out tooth, you can use fluoridated paste and avoid cavity.

Hi Lybrate user, As per your query regarding decaying of tooth, it is an irreversible process involving enamel damage. It seems to be in initial stages as you have no complaints regarding them by giving you any discomfort. So filling is the best option to regain your enamel level and decay removed. Thanks.

Brush your teeth twice daily. Go for oral examination at least twice a year.
