If u have a cavity, visit Ur dentist and get it filled or what ever is necessary. Since caries is bacteria, it will spread to other teeth also if u don't get it filled. Cavities cannot healed by medicines. If had it been that way, there would have been no dentists...😀😀

Next Steps

visit dentist immediately

A cavity means presence of bacteria. These bacteria will demineralise your tooth by releasing acids. These acids will eat away the tooth structure resulting in tooth decay. Since you said it has spread to other tooth, it means the decay is active and progressive. It will not be stopped completely by medicines or any other aids. You may delay the process but you cannot stop it completely without the intervention of the Dentist.

Next Steps

Visit your dentist immediately.

Health Tips

If neglected, decay will progress and may cause pain which should be treated by root canal treatment.
