A member asked:
I have a small cavity spot on my tooth even hard to see it with naked eyes so is there any solution so that my tooth can auto repair this cavity .

What to do: First, not all spots are cavities. I often have patients come in thinking some stain or small spot is a cavity when in reality it's not. Start by having your own dentist evaluate what you see. There is no "auto repair" for decayed enamel. Some surface decalcifications can be remineralized or composite bonded so that they do not progress into deeper cavities. Discuss options with your own dentist.
