ayurvedic treatment for teeth cavities - #2491
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.
