Spread of caries process can't be stopped by any homely method. You need to get it treated anyway. Warm water salt gargle, only if it's relieving pain. T. Parasafe 650, when pain.

No, there is no way u can control it at home... Once u get a tooth cavity it can be best managed only professionally... But u can try to keep ur teeth specially decayed one clean by brushing after every meal... Stucked food cause more rapid decay n infection... U may have calpol 500 mg as n wen required for mild pain...
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist
Health Tips
brush after every meal.. warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day will help a bit... do not give hot compress...
