A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are any products for a temporary home tooth decay repair?

None: There are no diy products to repair decayed teeth. Your pharmacy may carry a temporary filling material to fill the cavity, preventing food from getting caught, but it does not repair anything... It just buries the decay and allows it to progress. Get to a dentist asap...

Sadly not: Best to be seen by a dentist asap. Often can be fixed with a filling. Don't wait for root canal, crown or tooth loss. Hope this helps.

No DIY solution: Decay (dental caries) is an infection. If you try to fix it yourself you will only worsen the infection. Take advantage of your dentist's 10, 000 hours of training and years of experience for the most effective, least costly, "fix." would you try to treat your own heart disease, broken arm, polio, etc? Don't do it, see a pro.
