Teeth and toothpaste problems, help!?!
Question: Long story short; my teeth are killing me, not ache type, but decay and cavity-starts. I am international student in the US with NO dental insurance, so i can NOT afford seeing a dentist here. i've been here for 7 months now and i checked w/ my dentist before i came here. all was perfect. once i got here, i had toothache for months, now i have blaque, starting cavity in at least three teeth. the brush and paste i bought from here seem to worsen it. Please please give me any advice. is there a perfect toothpaste/brush that would help at least till i go home this summer!!!??

It takes longer than 7 months for decay to develop, it's not the tooth brush or the tooth paste you bought here, its probably the lack of using both. If all was perfect with your teeth before you came here, then you shouldn't be having a problem now. My advice, floss and brush correctly and thoroughly at least twice a day and rinse with warm salt water several times a day.
Most of toothpastes can prevent begining of a decay if used frequently but once the cavity begins some times with regular brushing and flossing and using flouride containing toothpastes caries stop advancing but they still need to be removed by your dentist and to be filled ...
Instead of trying to protect them by a toothpaste you have to visit a dentist and make them filled and when this is done you can begin protecting your teeth so they wont have decays again
