No, once a cavity has formed it needs dental treatment (such as a filling); herbs and good hygiene help prevent decay and support clean teeth, but they cannot reverse or treat an actual cavity. So see a dentist for any tooth pain, sensitivity, or visible decay. Use Ayurvedic oral care and good habits for everyday prevention, and rely on a dentist to treat cavities and other dental problems.
-
Gentle herbal toothpastes and powders are generally well tolerated and suit daily use, though children need age-appropriate products, and you can ask your dentist about fluoride for cavity prevention. These products support everyday oral hygiene; for cavities, toothache, or any dental problem, see a dentist, since proper treatment is essential.
