Does anyone know of any remedies that stop tooth decay?

Once a cavity forms, the only remedy is to go to a dentist. There are NO over-the-counter remedies you can buy that will remove all of the decayed part of the tooth, then seal it off to the way the tooth is supposed to be shaped. Only a dentist and his instruments and restoratives can do that.





The biggest cause of tooth decay is failure to remove the sticky white bacterial plaque from your teeth. Whenever there is plaque on your teeth, the germs in the sticky white crud are just happily rotting away at your enamel and attacking your gums.





So in order to prevent tooth decay, you want to make sure there is as little plaque as possible on your teeth at all times. That means you need to brush thoroughly (teeth, tongue, gums) to remove plaque after each meal, and before bed. Avoid sugary foods, because the germs in plaque grows best on sugar. Floss every night, and get any existing cavities filled (cavities are festering holes serving as reservoirs for the germs). Get a checkup every 6 months to catch cavities while they are small, easy and inexpensive to fix.





Hope this helps.

Reply:BRUSH,FLORIDE, OR EXTRACT
Reply:Remedies don't prevent, they treat. Preventives don't treat, they prevent. Brush your teeth for 3 minutes three times a day, cut down on or avoid sugary foods and drinks, floss your teeth, use an dental rinse and see your dentist every 6 months. These are preventive measures. The only remedy is to have a dentist remove the caries (decay).
Reply:brush, floss, go to dentist, use mouthwash, which you should be doing anyways since it is normal oral hygine.
Reply:once a tooth starts decaying, you have to get a filling. There is no remedy.
Reply:tooth decay is mostly cause by acid,so try bruhing your teeth after eating, especially when you drinks orange juice, lemonade etc.You should alwaystry drinking water after each meal.
Reply:The best remedy is prevention! Brush regularly with a flouride toothpaste, rinse with a plaque fighter and floss after meals. Once decay has begun there's nothing you can do to stop it. The cavity will just get bigger and bigger until the pain drives you to a Dentist who will fill it!
Reply:1) Fluoride. If you have a particularly bad case, you can get a prescription from your dentist.





2) Co Enzyme Q10 has been shown to support gum tissue, the health of which is necessary for healthy teeth. I know of only one toothpaste that contains Co Q10 and I use it and get great results:

Reply:I used to work for a dentist and he would say to use flouride. You can by a mouthwash from walmart called ACT and it can harden up the soft spots.
Reply:Your dentist can put a seal on certain teeth. It lasts for about three years. I had it done for my kids. It is milky in color and keeps any food out of the crevices of molars.
Reply:Brush Your teeth and go to a Dentist!!
