Hi, as such caries is an irreversible process only incipient caries can be reversed in an early stage capable of remineralisation. Same case with the plaque, once develops it cannot be reversed. We can only remove it and maintain good oral hygeine after that.

You have to restore your carious tooth and for plaque you have to go to dentist for cleaning your teeth (scaling)

Hi lybrate-user,
is is not possible to reverse both.
You need to fill the cavity and get cleaning done fopr plaque,
do brush well and floss regularly to reduce plaque accumulation.

Hello lybrate-user, get scaling done for plaque and if cavity is incipient get it filled by your dentist. And thereafter follow instructions regarding maintaining good oral hygiene.
