can you get rid of a cavity without getting to the dentist? dentists are alot of money, and i really dont want my teeth to get drilled. well its not exactly a cavity yet, but there are like little black lines on some of my teeth in the back.. im scared! should i just use alot of mouthwash and like brush my teeth like 3 times a day? usually i forget mouth wash, and i brush my teeth like once a day. but generally my teeth arent that bad, and ive never had cavities before! i didnt even know they were.. and they dont even hurt! but the blackness seems to spread to other teeth. why is this happening? how does it start? how can i fix it??? HELP! once i even scraped a little of it off with my finger.. freaky. whats that black stuff made of anyway?

If i missed some, jsut write me back..or just go to my profile, and um, send me a question. lol. So, i think cavaties are made up from food, and bad things. They are probably just bacteria or some sort. About the needle, yes just a sowing needle. Put it in a cup of boiling water for 5 minutes. and then slowly scratch the cavity away. Yes, i do think you can use those white strips, even if you are 13. I dont think it can really harm you. but why do you want to get your teeth whitend. It doesnt really help for cavaties. And yes, flossing does help against cavaties. Keep that up regularly.
Hope i answered your questions, just ask any questions when u want k? have fun [ Schatzi33's advice column | Ask Schatzi33 A Question ]

You should have this checked immediately if you can't brush it off in 5 minutes. Your molars will not grow back, the cavity will spread to your jaw and will cause intense, agonizing pain. It could spread so far that it kills you.
I'm not sure that's a cavity but if it is there's no way to remove the cavity and keep the tooth by yourself. The only thing you could do at home is to pull the tooth. Cavities can actually kill you, so you should have it treated. The black stuff is bits of decayed tooth, rotted by bacteria. If you can brush the black stuff completely off, it's not a cavity, just some stuff on your teeth. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
