Seek the services of a competent dentist, and get a second opinion if you want.

Do you get money from the tooth fairy?

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.
Why does cavities continue to grow after a filling.?
1. It could be a new cavity. If you are still doing things that are bad for your teeth, there's no reason you won't get a cavity in that tooth again. 2.

Should you pull a first molar if it has a large cavity?
it depends how deep is your cavity .if the cavity is under your gum there are few chance to keep it because to do a root canal or put a crown is necessary remove all cavity and is contraindicated if your cavity is under your gum or close to the root. If the cavity is too big, sometimes there is nothing that can be done and the tooth has to be extracted. But a first molar is a big tooth that is important for chewing. If you lose it, it will affect the other teeth. Therefore if there is anyway to repair the cavity, by either a filling or a root canal, it would be the best option.
How do you overcome inflammation in a decaying tooth?
antibiotics The above is true. When you have decay in a tooth and you let it go too long it begins to affect the nerve and air also can get in through the cavity and that's what causes the pain.

What is the difference between a filling and a root canal?

If you nerve is removed from you tooth will you tooth die?
Yes the tooth's nerve is in the roots and ends in the crown of the tooth. Extracting a tooth will remove the nerve. It is important to discuss different treatment options with a dentist because sometimes a root canal is the preferred treatment and sometimes extraction is more appropriate. Not all teeth need to be replaced but if the tooth is important for function, bite stability, or esthetics than tooth replacements such as dental implants or fixed bridges become important options to consider.
Do dentists write down exactly where each cavity is on a tooth?
Yes, Dentist's record where your problem area's are. Sometimes, cavities are visual, (on the surface). Othertimes, cavities are inside your tooth. Dentist's take X-ray's of your mouth, and based on these X-ray's they can pin point exactly where your problems are. There are 5 surfaces on a tooth, and one or more can be affected by a cavity. That is why it is very important to write down on a dental chart where the cavities are located on each tooth, and all dentists generally do it.

Can you take out a cavity?
A cavity, no matter what kind it is, is a hole. You cannot take out a hole, but you can fill it up. In the case of a tooth cavity, the dentist drills and picks out all of the rotten tooth, right down to good solid material. Then he swabs the cleaned cavity with a liquid to plug up the tiny tubules inside, and also to discourage bacteria growth. Then he packs it full of a silver mixture which is the best material for a long-lasting filling. So . . . no, I cannot take out a cavity because I am not a dentist.
