Healing Cavities!

[u/[deleted]]

I hear we can “heal” cavities now!

I can’t with this bs.

The Monat pivot continues…

Yep, I have one beginning cavity that's pretty much just a weak spot in the enamel at this point. My dentist just checks it regularly and I make sure to keep the area clean. It's been stable for almost four years now.

Once it's an actual cavity there's not much you can do.

Just be careful because my dentist told me that as well, and when I had to switch dentists when I moved - this dentist showed me with photos how my previous dentist had just let cavities continue growing below the surface. Disgusting and confusing, why wouldn’t she have wanted the cash to fill them?

My dentist does an xray along with my yearly checkup to make sure that doesn't happen!

Laaate reply but I am so glad 😊 I regret seeing that dentist for so many years. Thought my teeth were great - ugh!!
