Generally I would say cavities need to be first treated by a dentist through traditional means. Afterwards with focus on the diet and by strengthening digestion (spleen) and the bone (kidney) systems you can avoid future complications. Actual treatment would be properly individualized to each patient according to their diagnostic signs and symptoms. See "What Does Acupuncture Treat?" for an explanation of treating tcm diagnoses and not individual symptoms.
