ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities - #2491

Anonymously

So here's my problem, I've been dealing with teeth issues for a while now, and I’m really hoping someone can guide me on ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities. My teeth have always been kinda weak, even when I was a kid, but over the past year or so, I’ve noticed a lot more sensitivity and some actual holes (gross, I know) in my molars. I brush twice a day, but I won’t lie, I have a terrible sweet tooth, and snacking on chocolates is my kryptonite. Recently, my dentist told me I need to get fillings done, but honestly, I’m terrified of the drill. Plus, I’d really prefer something natural if possible, like an ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities, if there’s such a thing? I’ve heard Ayurveda can help strengthen teeth and even stop cavities from getting worse. Is that true? I've tried oil pulling with coconut oil, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right or if it even helps with cavities. I also started using a clove powder mix on my gums because my grandma swears by it, but again, no idea if it's effective. Another thing, someone told me neem sticks can be used instead of a toothbrush. Has anyone here done that? Would it actually help with ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities, or is that just one of those traditional things people say works but doesn’t really? I don’t have any sharp pain yet, just occasional sensitivity to cold drinks and sweets. But I’m really worried these cavities are gonna get worse, especially since I can see them starting to form on a few other teeth now. I read somewhere that diet matters a lot too, so I’m trying to cut down on sugar (ugh, not easy), but are there any specific foods or herbs I should focus on? Like is turmeric or some other spice good for cavities? Also, random question—does ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities include any kind of massage or special paste I could make at home? I’m open to trying stuff if it’s safe and easy to make. Any specific oils, powders, or methods people here have used that really work? Or is it more about preventing further damage rather than actually fixing the cavities? Please help me out here. I don’t want to ignore this and end up with major dental work later. Thanks in advance to anyone who has tips or recommendations for ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities.

For Ayurvedic treatment of cavities, here are some options that may help strengthen teeth and prevent further damage: Oil Pulling: Continue with coconut oil pulling; it helps with oral hygiene and reducing bacteria. Make sure to swish for 10-15 minutes daily. Neem Sticks: Neem has antibacterial properties and can be used as a natural toothbrush. It helps reduce plaque and fight bacteria in the mouth. Clove Powder: Cloves have natural analgesic properties and can help with tooth sensitivity. However, they might not directly heal cavities but can provide temporary relief. Turmeric: Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. You can make a paste with turmeric and coconut oil and apply it to your gums to reduce inflammation. Diet: Reducing sugar is crucial. Include calcium-rich foods like dairy, sesame seeds, and leafy greens to strengthen teeth. Avoid acidic foods that can erode enamel. Herbal Pastes: A paste of Triphala (a combination of three fruits) and honey can help prevent further damage and support gum health. While these Ayurvedic treatments may help prevent worsening cavities and promote oral health, they cannot replace fillings for existing damage. It’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice and combine these methods with regular dental checkups.
