Very early decay can sometimes be reversed—but once a cavity forms, it won’t heal on its own. What most people don’t realize Tooth decay happens in stages. In the earliest stage , the enamel starts to weaken—but there isn’t a hole yet. At this point, your tooth can actually remineralize  (repair itself). Once a cavity turns into a physical hole, though, it can’t grow back. What is remineralization?

It’s not something we recommend lightly. It’s meant to treat an infection and help prevent things from getting worse. So what is a “deep cleaning”?
