@drelliedds: When decay is still limited to the enamel, remineralization with fluoride, better oral hygiene, and diet changes can sometimes reverse damage. But once decay reaches the dentin, it cannot heal on its own and will continue to progress without treatment. That’s why routine exams and X-rays matter, even when nothing hurts. An early cavity can mean a simple preventive approach instead of a much more involved treatment later.
