Agreed.

Very small cavities are sometimes 'watched'. IOW's the dentist is just
waiting for them to get large enough to feel good about getting out
the high speed handpiece and gutting the tooth.

I would rather use a very conservative means of cavity preparation
(laser, air abrasion, or small bur) to remove the carious portion
of the tooth at an early stage and seal any other pits and fissures
at the same time that I am restoring the actual decay.

I've got a question regarding caries that is being formed on few of my teeth. In fact they are very very small dots. Is there any other solution than filing (if i spelled right)? Are there any tooth pastes, any medicaments, drugs, scrubs? Please answer on my email: viktor011@gmail.com Thanks.
