Cavities: Sorry but only a dentist can repair a tooth with a cavity. Left untreated, it will only get worse in time. What a shame it would be to have a tooth extracted if the only problem is that it has a cavity. Would you remove one of your toes if it had an ingrown toenail? Would you not fix a leak in your roof if you had no insurance. Think about your priorities. I'm sure you can find a way.

NO: Wishful thinking. Cavity must be treated with filling or tooth extracted; it will only get worse the longer you wait.

Uh, no: If there was, there would be no need for fillings, right? Insurance is not necessary to fix your tooth. Most if not all dentists treat uninsured patients.. they make up the vast majority of patients. Insurance doesn't cover all the expenses anyway, so you will still pay out of pocket. Seek treatment in a low cost clinic or a dental school if necessary.

No way: Once you have tooth decay, that cavity can not be reversed or healed on it's own. the only solution is to see your dentist for treatment.

Cavity: In certain, LIMITED, cases , high concentrations of fluoride applied to small , new carious lesions can cause remineralization. Think of this like Starbucks, you don't need to go there,you could make your coffee at home, so when you go you spend your discretionary income. So while you would rather spend your money elsewhere , its easier and less painful( on many levels) to treat the cavity

Cavity: a cavity is caused by bacteria and their toxins eating away the tooth. The only way to fix this is to see a dentist who will remove the disease part of your tooth and place a filling. The longer you wait the bigger, deeper and more costly the treatment will be. So see a dentist now and save yourself some money and some pain. Fyi insurance does not cover everything, many people do not have it.

Seek treatment soon: I would suggest seeing if you have any dental coverage through Obamacare. Otherwise, I would seek treatment at a dental school or hospital residency program, which are always looking for patients. Try to see a dentist soon before the infection gets worse.
