What are some good ways to take care of cavities that you can’t get filled right away?
I have several cavities in my mouth that I can’t afford to get filled right now (as I don’t have dental insurance and I make minimum wage). I’m planning on going as soon as I have the money, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do in the meantime to keep them from getting worse, aside from brushing and flossing (which I do almost compulsively now).
Thanks for any input.

I once used a sugar free gum to make a temporary filling. Just to keep the air out.
First I brushed my teeth thoroughly then I put a little toothpaste in the actual cavity, then filled the space with the well chewed gum.
It did work. But cleanliness is important.
i’d suggest avoiding anything sugary so more damage isn’t done, or anything that is very hot or cold, as this might be uncomfortable. Good Luck!
brush your teeth and rinse so that it doesn’t get worst.
Wash your mouth with alcohol to kill bacteria that could worsen the infection.
If it hurts get special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. You can also chew on clove to soothe the pain (clove is a natural pain releiver that is still used by dentists).
