Why would a dentist drill out a tooth and fill if there is no cavity?
The dentist is crooked, and looking to make a buck.
What to do for a deep cavity and rotted tooth?
Have a dentist fill the cavity with or without a root canal, and while you're there, have him pull that tooth before the infection goes into the jawbone and you have to have part of your jaw removed. The dentist can also show you how to brush and floss your teeth to slow down further tooth damage.
I have a small patch of decalcification on a front tooth. Should I let my dentist fill this tooth?
No. Decalcification is not the same thing as tooth decay. It is the precursor to it. Talk to your dentist about other options.
Cavity in your back tooth and it hurtrs what can i do i dont want to go to the dentist?
The best thing to do is go to the dentist. Scince your tooth already hurts, I'm guessing it's already gotten pretty bad. If you go to the doctor soon enough, they'll give you a numbing shot and then drill the cavity decay from the tooth, clean the tooth and then fill in the cavity. The procedure doesn't hurt at all after the numbing shot, before the numbing shot they will give you a swab with solution on it that helps numb you gum so it won't hurt so much when they inject. Annd if you're worried about spending money to get the cavity fixed at the dentist, I say it's better to get it fixed than your tooth hurting. It's only going to hurt more and more. get your tooth fixed and take good care of your teeth so you won't get another cavity.
Your two year old have a cavity should you fill it or take it out?
That question really needs to answered by a dentist, preferably a pediatric dentist (pedodontist). Age two is too young to lose a tooth, and depending on which one it is, it could have long-term consequences for the child's adult teeth. This is serious. Get to a dentist as soon as possible and discuss which options are best for the child.
How do you stop cavity?
Go to the dentist to fill it. Don't eat foods with high sodium and aspatame quantities. Also, brush your teeth after every meal, and always use Listerline. EDIT: Another way if u hate the dentist... let the cavity dry, because cavities are spots that have melted and if it dries out, it will reharden, but i suggest u go to the dentist because there is already damage to the tooth.

Should you fill a cavity immediately or is it better to wait?
Of course it is better to fill it immediately and stop any further damage to the tooth. Why would you wait? So the cavity can get bigger? So the whole tooth rots away so you don't have to fill it?

What happens if you need a tooth filled?
Dental fillings are quite simple. First, the dentist will ask you weather you want to have an injection to numb your mouth so you do not feel any pain. If you do decide to have an injection, the dentist may put some numbing gel on the place of injection or they may not, it really does not make any difference. The dentist will then leave you for a minute while the anesthetic takes affect. Next, the dentist will use a drill to drill out the decayed and weakened parts of the tooth. This may feel a bit funny but should not hurt. Then the dentist will wash and dry the now clean cavity. Finally, the dentist will place a special underlining, such as resin, to protect the nerves and blood vessels. Then the filling will be placed into the tooth. Depending on the type of filling, it will dry in a few seconds or the dentist may use a blue light to set it. Good luck on your filling. I speak on experience, I had a filling done a few hours ago.
Can you fill in your own cavity or do they sell the one that your cavity filling is lost then you can go buy another filling?
Some pharmacies sell a temporary filling material that may relieve some discomfort until you can see a dentist. It is only temporary, and it does nothing to stop decay or infection. If you do not see a dentist soon, you run the risk of needing a root canal or even possibly losing the tooth.
If you have a cavity in one of your lower right back teeth that is kind of big will the dentist be able to fill it with a filling?
I had a root canal on my back tooth that was supposed to be crowned, but i didn't get around to it, and because the tooth became brittle it broke ( a chunk actually came out of it). My dentist said he'd try and fill it and see how it held up. That was 5 1/2 years ago. It's fine, and has never bothered me. I guess it may depend on the location. My tooth broke in half and part of the middle came out, but the tooth was dead, so i didn't experience any pain or problems.
