Hello all,

what you would advise to do to in a case of tooth decay where at the
moment the person couldn't go to a dentist (cause in the place require
too much $$$) ???
(i means something that it's possible to do "by-yourself"/at
home....surely better than leave the situation as is it !nO?;))

Thanks much in advance

    There is no self-treament for this.  If you have a big hole you could
go to a pharmacy and get some Den-temp and mix up a temporary filling to
prevent food from packing into the hole.  But this isn't going to "cure"
the decay, nor will it prevent the decay from progressing.

....and you may cause the tooth to start hurting big time!

You might even try going to an emergency room. At least you might get it taken
care of that way. Good Luck..MC

I've never heard of an emergency room visit resulting in anything more
than a prescription for antibiotics and pain meds.  They do not treat
dental disease in the US.

Its kind of difficult. Can't you find one no-nonsense dentist in your
area?

Sell your computer. Get your teeth fixed.

You should be able to trade even for around half a filling!
