Unfortunately, you cannot close a cavity at home.
Cavities, also known as tooth decay, are small holes in the teeth that require professional dental treatment. According to current understanding, there is no natural way to remove them at home. Only a dentist can properly fix a cavity. This typically involves:
- Removing the decayed portion of the tooth.
- Cleaning the area.
- Filling the cavity with a suitable material (e.g., composite resin, amalgam, gold).
Attempting to treat a cavity at home can lead to:
- Worsening the decay.
- Infection.
- Pain.
- Further damage to the tooth.
Therefore, it's crucial to see a dentist if you suspect you have a cavity. Early detection and treatment can prevent more serious problems.
