Answers:
The best way to avoid cavities between your teeth is to floss daily and get regular dental checkups!. Cleanings twice a year by a registered dental hygienist and xrays at least yearly!. But the floss is your biggest help, and holding the floss in your hands - rather than a flosser, does a more thorough job as you curve the floss around your teeth, in a "C" shape, scrape up and down against the surface of the tooth!. Don't just clean the space inbetween!. The point is to scrape that sticky plaque off the surface of your tooth!. That is what causes cavities, not the food debris that you see come out!. Food just feeds the bacteria, so even if you never ate again, you would still have bacteria between your teeth that needs to be scraped off daily!.
Sounds like you will have a small tooth colored filling!. It will match your tooth color so it will not be noticed unless you let it get stained at the margin by coffee, tea etc!.

They can put a 'white' composite filling in your tooth!. They have different shades to match your teeth!. As for the cost, it depends upon what part of the country you are in!. Each region is different!. Here on the East Coast it could run about $120+!. Basic dental insurance usually covers cavities (at least a percentage), especially the front teeth!. Check with your dentist!.

This site shows and explains a composite filling!. Third paragraph down:

the best way to prevent cavities is to get your teeth cleaned at least every 9 months by hygenist, also use floride mouth rinse daily to strengthen enamel!. Drink sodas through a straw so not to bathe teeth in sugar!.
