Any Home Remedy For Cavities?

My daughter is 3 with cavities in her front four teeth....her appointment isn't for another 2 weeks with the dentist, but will they be able to fill in the cavities? They are looking pretty bad at the moment no matter how consistent we are with brushing....are there other options I should be prepared for when I go for her visit?
