Answers:
~~ it's best to be honest with your Mum, not all cavities are caused from sweets. there are some people who never eat sweets and end up with a mouth full of cavities, and some like me that eat many sweets and never end up with cavaties. Unfortunately there is no way to fix a tooth on your own. if you try to mask the symptoms it will just get worse, and you will end up with more problems, so tell your Mum you need to go to the dentist, then besure to brush and floss regularly and also drink lots of water, this will help to keep your teeth strong. ~~

the best way would be for your mum to be told
or buy bonjela, or clove oil and take aspirin and ibuprofen for a week or so
You need to go to a dentist. It's the ONLY way to fix the cavity.

Your mom might be a little upset with you, but it's only because she wants you to be healthy. You have to tell her so that she can help you get the right treatment.

If you're going to eat sweets, you need to be sure to brush and floss regularly, or you'll get more cavities.
It won't stop hurting you need to tell your Mom and go to the dentist. She prolly won't be that mad, and If she si she'll get over it and You'll feel alot better.
u have to tell ur mom or ur tooth is gonna rot and fall out of ur mouth.
You really should tell your mom. ALL kids get cavities sooner or later. There's no way for you to fix it yourself, you will feel much better after you go to the dentist.
You really need to try not to be scared and tell your mom you need a checkup with a dentist. You don't want things to get worse or infection to spread inside your mouth. I will pray you find the boldness and strength to tell her. Prayers =)
Tell your mother so that you can go to the dentist. It could get infected and then wit will hurt even worse. Take care of your teeth while you are young because you only get that one set of adult teeth once they are gone they are gone.
You have to tell her, so she can get you to the dentist. She'll nag you for a little while, probably, but would you rather have the pain to get worse? You HAVE to tell her.
ask the school to invite your mother in and talk with her with the school nurse. And ask ths scholl nurse if she can help set up the appt.
there is no way to fix it yourself unless ur a dentist and ur only 11 so tell ur mom and go to a dentist
you need to tell your mom so you can go get it taken care of if you put it off it will get worse
They're all right. You gotta tell your mom so she can take you to the dentist.
1st you go to BDS and takew madicine? the regular clean yr teeth three times. Don/' eat chocolate. avoid sweets .
A cavity isn't always caused by too many sweets or lack of brushing. And I know your mother wouldn't want you to be in pain. Tell her so that she can take you to the dentist. The cavity will only get worse if not attended to!
Your mom loves you and she would not want you to be hurt nor in pain.

I'm sure your mom has had her share of cavities in her day. It is a very normal thing to have cavities, so just let her know that you need to make a dental appointment and then you'll problem will be fixed.

Feel better soon!
TELL YOUR MOM! Right now before it gets bigger and infected. Tell her you are afraid to tell her something because you don't want her to be mad at you first, she will be all ears then.

It's going to be OK!

I am a mom.
I am more worried that you are afraid to tell your mum you have a problem than I am about your sore tooth.

Is there another adult you can go to about this? Your dad? An auntie?

You need to see a dentist, and if you're afraid to tell your mum, you must find someone else to take you. You really should cut down on the sweets you eat, or at least brush after you eat them. That way, you won't have these "holes" in your teeth as often.
I don't think your mum will be angry, LOTS of kids get cavities and really should go to the dentist MORE OFTEN.

Tell your mum you discovered a hole in your tooth and if she would take you to the dentist. That is the only way to get it fixed properly.
well I'm 11 too and I've had this done to me before. lucky you i saw this. well this is what i did. i just told her and she actually took it pretty well but yet your mom is different than mine is.well just tell her and if you get punished and get grounded, just sit it through. if anything goes wrong, blame me for everything.
Now would you rather the nagging pain or a little lecture. Tell your mom, cavities arent that big of a deal, just about everyone has had a cavity before. You can eat what you want you just have to brush your teeth a lil more if you wanna be a candy monster, That's all.
Hun you can not fix that hole in your tooth only a dentist can do that and he will fixed it with what is called a "filling". Don't be scared to tell your mom because if you wait to long you may not be able to save your tooth. Your mother loves you and she will take care of you just tell her you need help. Good luck.
u r reatared. Just tell ur mom and get it over wit! its not like she gonna be mad b/c u dont have good teeth!
My sister has had like 4 cavities and they got filled in and are ugly now but thew longer u wait, the uglier the cavity is going to be, and the more mad ur mom is gonna be when u FINALLY tell her.
You can't fix it yourself. You have to tell your mother or it will get bigger and hurt more. Then the tooth will give you an infection and you will get very sick. If she finds out then, she will be mad at your for TWO reasons; that you got the hole in the first place AND that you that you kept it from her. Better tell her now while you only have ONE secret.
sorry sweetheart, the only way to fix the hole in your tooth is to go to the dentist who will put a filling in it. That will stop it from hurting as well. I know you're scared to tell your mum, but you need to, because the tooth will not get better, it will just get worse and hurt more. I'm sure she won't be very angry with you, lots of people get cavities in their teeth, and if you're in pain I'm sure she'll want to help you by taking you to see your dentist.
OK..well, your mom has no right to be mad at you because if she was taking you to the dentist like she should be then they would have found the cavity before it got bad. Just tell her and she will take you and get it fixed. And cavities arent always caused by eating too much sweets. It can be other things. Your mom needs to watch you better while brushing your teeth and make sure you are doing it correctly and needs to take you for regular scheduled cleanings at the dentist..
Going to the dentist is the only way to make it stop! Good luck : )
Hi Chloe,
Sorry honey but you need to tell your mom. And just in case you don't, believe me the pain is going to get WORSE. And I mean a lot worse. You need to tell your mom. Now just for your info, there are many reason for cavities. And sweets is only ONE of the reasons. And to be truthful I don't think ANYONE including a dentist can say OH, this cavity is from sweets. But tell your mom, or be ready for some more pain. Good Luck.
you need to tell your mom so she can take you to the dentist. If your cavity is not repaired an infection might set in. It could make your teeth and gums hurt, it could even reach the brain! There is no other way to fill in the cavity, but by a dentist. Take care of it now, before it's too late.
u'r mom will be horrified if she knew that u were in pain and didn't tell her. Please tell her as soon as possible. I am a mother. Your mom has made mistakes too. She'll understand this one. Start by asking her if she has ever had a cavity.
