Can Ayurvedic treatment help heal a tooth cavity naturally? - #1580

Anonymously

I’ve been dealing with a tooth cavity for a few months now. The dentist suggested a filling, but I’m hoping to avoid it if possible. The pain isn’t constant yet, but I can feel sensitivity when I eat sweet or cold foods. I’ve read that Ayurvedic remedies like oil pulling with sesame oil, clove oil application, and herbal powders can help strengthen the teeth and possibly reverse early cavities. Is there any truth to this? Has anyone successfully treated a tooth cavity using Ayurvedic methods instead of conventional dental work? If so, what did you use, and how long did it take to see improvement?

Ayurveda offers several natural remedies that may help with early-stage tooth decay and sensitivity, but it's important to understand that these methods are generally more supportive and preventive rather than curative for established cavities. Oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil is a traditional Ayurvedic practice known to help reduce bacteria in the mouth, promote gum health, and strengthen teeth over time. Clove oil, with its natural analgesic and antimicrobial properties, can be applied to the affected area to reduce pain and sensitivity. Herbal powders like Triphala can also support oral health by improving gum condition and overall hygiene. However, while these remedies may provide relief and help prevent further damage, they are not a substitute for dental fillings when cavities have progressed. If you are experiencing sensitivity, it's a good idea to consult with both your dentist and an Ayurvedic practitioner to get a comprehensive approach. In terms of improvement, you may notice some relief within a few weeks of regular use, but significant cavity reversal is unlikely without professional dental intervention.
