Can you correct tooth decay?

Can you correct tooth decay?

This is a sign of early decay. Tooth decay can be stopped or reversed at this point. Enamel can repair itself by using minerals from saliva, and fluoride from toothpaste or other sources. But if the tooth decay process continues, more minerals are lost.

What are the early stages of tooth decay?

The first sign of tooth decay is when teeth develop a dull, white band along the gum line (the area at the base of the teeth, near the gums). You might also see brown spots on the teeth, and the gums might be red and swollen. With more advanced tooth decay, you might notice blackened holes in the teeth or broken teeth.

Can tooth decay go away on its own?

Cavities don’t just go away on their own. If you ignore a cavity, it will continue to grow in size. One bad cavity could lead to a second cavity before long. Decay of the tooth will widen and deepen; this will make you more prone to brittle teeth leaving them to the possibility of cracking and breaking.

Why are my teeth rotting from the inside?

The plaque and cavities allow more acid to enter the tooth’s soft, vulnerable interior. Once the enemy (acid and bacteria) advance beyond the gates (enamel), it’s only a matter of time before the tooth starts to rot from the inside out. And that’s how teeth rot.

How can I fix my rotten teeth naturally?

Some of these remedies include:

1. Oil pulling. Oil pulling originated in an ancient system of alternative medicine called Ayurveda.
2. Aloe vera. Aloe vera tooth gel may help to fight off bacteria that cause cavities.
3. Avoid phytic acid.
4. Vitamin D.
5. Avoid sugary foods and drinks.
6. Eat licorice root.
7. Sugar-free gum.
