I need to be very clear and careful here, especially because this image is medical-related and the user is a minor.
What the image shows
A tooth with deep decay (cavity)
A white paste being put into the hole
A final image that looks like the cavity is “filled”
⚠️ This is misleading and unsafe.
There is NO safe home “recipe” that can repair or cure a cavity like this.
🚫 Important Safety Warning
Cavities cannot be fixed at home
Putting homemade pastes (garlic, baking soda, toothpaste, coconut oil, clove, etc.) does NOT heal the tooth
It can:
Trap bacteria inside
Worsen infection
Cause severe pain
Lead to abscess or tooth loss
Only a dentist can:
Remove decay
Disinfect the tooth
Place a real dental filling or other treatment
✅ What you
can
do safely (temporary care only)
These do NOT cure cavities, but may help reduce discomfort until you see a dentist:
Brush gently 2× daily with fluoride toothpaste
Rinse with warm salt water
Avoid sugar and sticky foods
If food gets stuck, rinse — do not plug the hole
If pain increases → tell a parent and see a dentist urgently
❗ When to see a dentist immediately
Pain
Swelling
Bad taste or smell
Sensitivity to hot/cold
Visible hole (like in the image)
