Can you cure a dental cavity without filling it?

Dental cavities: Once you vave the cavities there is no alternative medicine two cure the cavities.There is no doubt that all the preventive measures, cutting sugars and carbs, brushing and flossing and fruoride treatment will prevent the formation of the cavities.But once you have real cavities these need to be filled.

No: Once a tooth has decay, it has to be reomoved and restored.
