How can I remove tooth decay myself?

I am a 23 year old male. I want to know how can I remove tooth decay myself?

Maybe. Why would you risk leaving the roots in your gums or the pain that is controlled by anesthetics? I realize extractions can be costly, but so can a bad and painful home extraction.
Hi
Unfortunately, there is no way to do it yourself. Don't even think of trying it you definitely will hurt yourself.
No, you are not able to remove the tooth decay yourself.
Take YOURSELF to the dentist.
You cannot, you should see a dental professional. Tooth decay is an active disease process, and has to be removed and the tooth filled in order to fix the tooth
The only type of decay damage that is reversible is very early, small cavities. To do that, you use Fluoride toothpaste (with ADA seal), stop drinking sugary or acidic beverages (which is about everything, even some popular bottled waters, like Dasani and Pelligrino) Tap water is okay, and most store brand bottled waters are okay. Unsweetened tea (no lemon) is okay. Coffee isn't too bad. Don't eat sweets, except with a meal. Stop snacking. Brush regularly (after meals, not when you just get up) and use UNWAXED dental floss to clean in between teeth, where the brush can't go. This isn't easy to do, but it gives your teeth a chance, and it's overall healthier.
By going to your dentist and have them drill the decay out.
It is not advisable to attempt to excavate decay yourself.
