See your dentist: Once a tooth has caries or decay it will continue to grow until the tooth is fixed by a dentist. You can stop caries before they start by brushing and flossing properly.

Re-mineralization: Small cavities without loss of the matrix can be reversed by utilizing an effective re-mineralization program. We often create custom trays and have the patient wear the trays at night with mi paste (high calcium and phosphate paste) inside. The tray therapy is very effective. There are also therapeutic sealants that re-harden tooth structure. Many other options are available.

So many ways!!!: Stopping decay is the most basic of preventive care goals. We often reverse small cavities by re-mineralization. Mi paste with high levels of calcium and phosphate, especially in a custom night tray, is very effective. Probiotic therapy specific for anti-oral pathogen effect is also recommended. Xylitol products also help.
