Do you know how to remove tooth decay yourself?

As a result of plaque buildup and bacterial action on our teeth, decay slowly sets in. This usually begins from the outermost layer of the tooth, know as the enamel and may eventually get to the innermost layers. These contain the tooth pulp which is a living tissue unlike the enamel. Hence, is made of nerves and blood vessels. The nerves when irritated by the spreading decay, can cause tooth pain of varying degrees. Which usually, makes the person aware of a present decay.
