You can give cod liver oil if u want but it's not going to resolve his cavity for sure.
instead pl visit a dentist & get his thorough examination followed by treatment.

Kindly see a dentist for restoration of your child's teeth. There is no natural therapy for arresting decay..

You have to visit the dentist for filling of the cavity because once it occurs cannot be reversed. You can give Sea cod ,cod liver oil . Kindly monitor proper brushing and oral hygiene habit of the child . You can give calcium supplements like Shelcal syrup for preventing further cavities.

Hi.
Cavities dont heal..
Please visit a nearby dentist.. start cleaning the child teeth two times a day.. do not give milk after brushing in night..
Most of the cavities occur due food and other milk products. Prevent cavities.. regards dr amit kumar.

Let me put it straight there is no way you can ,heal a cavity
It has to be cleaned and filled by a dentist only
Yes in some cases ,there is a procedure called as fluoridation that prevents cavity formation
But you have to visit dentist ,there is nothing which heals cavities naturally !
