Tooth cavities, medically known as dental caries, are decayed areas of the tooth that develop into tiny openings or holes. They result from demineralization of enamel and dentin due to acids produced by bacteria in dental plaque.

When we consume foods rich in sugar and starch, bacteria in the mouth convert these into acids that erode the protective enamel layer, leading to cavity formation. If untreated, the decay progresses deeper, affecting the dentin and pulp, causing pain, infection, and tooth loss.

Common causes and risk factors:

• Poor oral hygiene (inadequate brushing and flossing)
• High sugar or acidic diet
• Bacterial plaque accumulation
• Dry mouth (reduced saliva flow)
• Genetic predisposition
• Frequent snacking or sticky foods

Symptoms include:

• Toothache or sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
• Visible holes or pits in teeth
• Discoloration (brown, black, or white spots)
• Bad breath or foul taste
• Pain when chewing or biting

If ignored, dental caries can lead to pulp infection, abscess formation, or even systemic complications.

Homeopathy offers an effective and holistic approach to managing tooth cavities — not just symptomatically, but by strengthening teeth, preventing decay progression, and improving oral health.

The goals of homeopathic treatment are to:

• Relieve tooth pain and sensitivity
• Arrest further decay and remineralize enamel
• Control infection and inflammation
• Strengthen teeth and gums
• Address constitutional causes, such as poor nutrition or chronic acidity

Remedies are chosen based on pain character, triggers, accompanying symptoms, and general constitution. Along with good oral hygiene, homeopathy helps preserve natural teeth and prevent recurrence. Management
