About cavities...?

my best freind has cavities and wont go to the dentist (he is VERY afraid) is there ANY other way he can fix them aside from the dentist?

About cavities...?
Unfortunately no, Cavities definitely require a dentist in order to fix the dental area. Being scared of the density is so common. I myself had rather somebody slap me out of my chair than go to the dentist. Having said that, tell your friend to make an appointment with the dentist, tell them on the phone how afraid he is, and believe me, they will do there best to reassure him and make him comfortable during the process. Also if your friend doesn't go to the dentist and get the dental care he needs, in all likely hood, he will wind up with a dental abscess, then be facing seeing an oral surgeon. Much better to address the dental problem now, than later. Hope this helps, and thanks for the opportunity to address such an important question. Best of luck to your friend.

Reply:Nope, the only way to fix a cavity is to have it filled. If he doesn't then eventually the tooth will continue to rot until it falls out. I guess he has to decide which he is more afraid of....a dentist or having false teeth. If he is really afraid of a dentist then he could check the yellow pages for a dentist that offers anesthesia for patients. What they do is they perform a full check up on your first visit and make a list of all the dental work that needs to be done. Then they will schedule a time for him to come back and have all the work done at one time while he is knocked out. It is the best thing for people with a fear of the dentist.

He can get nitrous which will make him feel real good and not care that they are working on his mouth. I love the stuff.
Reply:Today a dentist will put you under for dental work. I can handle a filling, but if they are going to be pulling, out I go.
Reply:no sorry the will have to use a drill to get the bad stuff out of his tooth and there is no way he could do that
Reply:Sorrry but no, your dentist can sedate your friend or use nitrous oxide, but if he keep waiting every thing is goin to be worst
