Cavities that are confined to the top most layer of the tooth called enamel can be removed and filled.
Based on the extent of the cavity the type of filling would vary.
So kindly get it checked and filled before it gets deeper.

Hi,
Cavity can be filled with a dental cement if it is at the superficial level. Get a routine dental check every 6 months.
