Best Answer

The formation of a cavity depends of: 1- How much sugar is in the diet.

2- The person's hygiene.

3- The person's defense system. If a person has a low defense system in his mouth, has a poor diet and poor hygiene, a cavity can form within a few weeks.

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. Depending on how bad the tooth is your dentist MAY put you on antibiotics, but generally once the cavity is worked on by your dentist the problem is solved. that may be true but when all but a little bit of your teeth is there take both percocet and a antibiotics these two combined will help ease the pain and get rid of any infection in or on the teeth

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.


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.

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

when you get a filling, they drill some of the tooth which has a cavity and fill it. When you get a root canal, they drill all the way down and take out the nerve of the tooth. Getting a root canal is more painful then a filling.
