DIY Dentistry ?: The best tip anyone can give you is to call a dentist for an appointment. If i read your question correctly, you would like to attempt this on your own... That's just not going to work out very well.

Dental Caries: If you are a dental student, you should get proper training at your dental school. If you are not, see your dentist who was trained on how to accomplish this. If we misunderstood your question, please re-post it.

Irreversible Disease: The only remedy is to remove out the decay and fill the tooth with dental restorative material. If not treated, caries can cause pain, infection and tooth loss. See your dentist for examination and treatment.
