Do cavities get worse even if you brush 3 times a day??


Question: got one up front and can't afford to get it filled at the moment. don't wanna lose tooth or anything like that. so?
Answers: Cavities will only get worse until you have it filled or pulled.
Go to your dentist and see if they'll set you up with a payment plan. A lot of them will do that for you.
i think not...
cavities should be handlesd by dentists. i think brushinfg won't really have much affect though.
It can, because it has already started. Brushing your teeth may prevent new ones, but you need to get the one you have going fixed.
First off, you should brush for 2-3 minutes each. Secondly, you should rinse your mouth with something like Listerine or Crest twice a day, morning and night. Thirdly, you should boil some water and pour it over your toothbrush to kill the germs every so often. After 3 months, toss it. I would suggest flossing, but I personally don't do it (too lazy... and it's actually pretty difficult for me... lol). Stay away from sugar or rinse/brush teeth after you have some. By the way, you shouldn't be brushing more than 3 times a day. That would be bad for your teeth.
Yes. Cavities and rust never sleep. Once it starts, you can not do anything at home to stop it.
Waiting - even if you are taking really good care of your teeth - might mean the difference between a small filling now and a crown or root canal (which cost many times more than a filling) later.
they still get worse ! the dentist office offers a card if your credit is good that you can pay it out ! check with them !
If decay from cavities are not removed and filled.. yes they will get worse. No amount of brusing flossing or rinising will get rid of an already decaying tooth.
