I brush my teeth twice a day and floss but i still have cavities.
I brush my teeth twice a day and floss but i still have cavities. I'm 17 and i don't get to go to the dentist very often because my dad can't afford it. I know if you get a cavity in a molar they drill it and give you a filling, but what if its in between two of your teeth? Is there anyway I can get rid of them? /:

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Most dental offices have cameras as well as standard X-Rays that show them exactly where the cavity is, how deep, and exactly where to start working or drilling from. In some cases cavities don't need needles for freezing. Instead they apply it as a gel on a cotton swab.
Yes, it's possible and highly so to get a cavity between teeth. I've had more of those filled than I would ever want but they happen and can be fixed with a little difficulty for the dentist and not much trouble for you pain wise.
You cannot be 100% sure you even have a cavity until their X-Ray machine says so. My question for you is do you have pain around a certain area or tooth? If so, when did it start? It could be more than just a cavity if the issue is discomfort or pain around teeth. Only the dentist can fix cavities.
While your father can't afford it I know that dentists offer all kinds of payment plans and maybe that can be worked out. If you know something isn't right about your teeth you must get it seen to soon as leaving it makes it worse.

Unfortunately to my knowledge there is no way to get rid of a cavity unless you go to the dentist. They also have to give you a shot and trust me I don't like them. If you don't want cavities don't eat as much food with acid and eat healthy.
hope I helped.
