I have this ear thing where when i eat sweets my ear feels ticklish or like it's moving can't see a cavity anyway to treat a cavity without dentistry?

No: Sorry. But if it was a cavity causing symptoms, anything you eat (not just sweets) would bother it. That you feel it into your ear is interesting and suggests you might have a slight eustachian tube problem (connects your middle ear to the back of your throat area..helps equalize pressure in the middle ear). Best to see your doctor and have the ear checked. Hope this helped. Best of luck. DrR

Cavity: Aa cavity is an infected hole in a tooth. Can be sensitive to sweets/acids, and that can be be perceived as referred pain in or around ear. Can also be TMJ Dysfunction. No, there's no way to treat a cavity without doing dental treatment. See Dentist to check teeth/jaw joint. See PCP or ENT to check ear. Both exams are recommended.
