The released acid reacts with the saliva and forms plaque. It leads to demineralization and the formation of cavities. Demineralization begins with a white spot on the teeth and is also among the cavity symptoms. How to get rid of cavities and the cavity pain? Try the following home remedies.

Tooth Cavity Treatment

1. Bitter Is Best For Health.

People in rural India used the neem tree bark as a toothbrush for dental health. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Chew fresh and soft sticks of the neem bark to clean your teeth.

2. Try Oil Pulling For Tooth Cavity Healing.

The method of oil pulling cleans the mouth from dirt and remains of food. Take a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swirl it around repeatedly. After a minute, spit out the oil.

3. Cure the Tooth Cavity With Mukta Pishti.

Ayurveda uses Mukta Pishti (Pearl powder) for dental care. Pearls carry a high amount of calcium and are also anti-inflammatory. Take 65 mg of pearl powder once or twice a day to strengthen your teeth.

4. Apply Cinnamon Powder On The Gums.

Cinnamon is a natural antioxidant. It kills harmful bacteria and aids fast healing. Apply cinnamon powder on the gums and massage gently to relieve tooth cavity problems.

5. Arjuna Tea Is Beneficial For Cavity Symptoms.

The Arjuna tree (Terminalia Arjuna) holds flavonoids, calcium, and potassium – essential for teeth as well as bone health. Boil some Arjuna bark in 500 ml of water for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea and consume twice a day.

6. Gargling Is The Utmost Important Oral Healthcare Practice.

Gargling after eating food is vital for oral health. The practice prevents tooth decay. Add half a teaspoon of rock or sea salt in one cup of warm water and gargle.

7. Clove Oil Is A Remedy For Cavity Pain.

Clove oil has analgesic and antibacterial properties to fight all the cavity symptoms. Soak a cotton ball in a mixture of diluted clove oil and sesame seed oil. Put the cotton ball at the end of the cavity before sleeping to get rid of cavity pain.
