Can home remedies effectively address severe tooth decay, bleeding, and pain?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have noticeable gaps between my teeth, and around seven to eight of my teeth are affected by germs or cavities. Brushing for more than a minute causes bleeding, and at times, I experience unbearable pain. My local dentist recommended caps. However, my family is suggesting basic home treatments like using specific toothpaste for brushing. While I understand my teeth are not in great condition, I am uncertain if home remedies alone can significantly improve the situation. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your query and understand your concerns.

The gap between your teeth may be a result of cavities. Unfortunately, dental cavities cannot be treated without restoration. If a cavity is present, it tends to progress without intervention. Bleeding gums often indicate improper oral hygiene. Given that you are only 18 years old, I strongly suggest you seek treatment to preserve your natural teeth. Consider visiting dental colleges, where quality treatment is available under expert guidance at a more affordable cost. Alternatively, you can explore government dental services.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.

Thank you.

Regards.
