“My lower back teeth are starting to decay. What should I do?”
I can see there is decay in my lower back teeth. What should I do about this? I can't go to the dentist until next week, is there a way to reduce the pain I feel until then?

If you are feeling pain, then the decay is deep into the tooth and affecting the pulp which is in the core of the tooth. You need to first treat the cavities and then figure out why you are getting cavities. Cavities do not just happen. Frequently they are related to your diet, and how often you eat carbohydrates is very important.
Stay away from excessively hot or cold foods, excessively sweet and drinks, rinse with warm salt water to tablespoons 4 glass Squish and rents, take aspirin don't miss the appointment
Take 400 mg of oral ibuprofen every 6 hours for pain. Also, you can get Oragel and place. Drop on the open cavity. After doing that, if you can see a hole in the tooth, you can place some orthodontic wax in the hole to help hold you over until next week. Be sure to see a dentist as soon as you possibly can; this can turn into a very painful infection in a very short time.
