Brushing away very tiny cavities?!

Brushing away very tiny cavities?

Is it possible to brush away a very tiny cavity, one with very little decay? Are there any special products for this?

Thanks

Re-mineralization will only work if the decay is limited to the enamel layer and has not yet penetrated into dentin. Re-mineralization would be accomplished by using a fluoride toothpaste (any fluoride toothpaste will do) and making sure there is no sticky plaque on the tooth at all times (the sticky plaque is what caused the decay in the first place).

If decay has penetrated into the dentin, no fluoride can reach it and the only way to fix that would be to have a dentist drill out the decay and put in a filling. You need to have a bitewing x-ray taken at your next cleaning and checkup to make sure no decay has penetrated into the dentin.

Hope this helps.
