At the initial stage, you can start using remineralizing toothpaste like 1) sensodyne repair and protect 2) sensodent k plus. They have compounds such as fluoride and calcium phosphate that help reverse the initial decay. Brushing and flossing twice daily is key.
Also to gauge the extent of the decay better to consult your dentist asap since proper diagnosis of whether it is initial or progressed can be made by a professional only. You can book an appointment or consult with us via telephone through practo.

Hi, it’s good you saw the decay at the initial stage. It must be an occlusal pit a small black dot of kind of decay. Go the nearby dentist he will simply remove the decay and fill a restorative material. Don’t let go or it will worsen. Brush twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste and gargle after every meals. Avoid sweets before bedtime or brush after that.
