Is it possible to get rid of a cavity by myself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A cavity is a hole in a tooth with infected tooth material lining the hole/ there's no way to treat it yourself. Have your dentist fix it now before the infection gets out of control. The longer you wait, the bigger the cavity, the bigger the investment of time and money to fix. Please put down the computer, tick up the phone, and call your dentist. Infections need immediate attention.
