Yes, tooth nerve pain can be prevented by treating the dental cavities priorly, that means before damaging the tooth layers like enamel dentine and pulp. If dental cavity is filled timely without reaching it to dentine and pulp, it can be prevented. And timely follow up checkups or dental visits can also prevent tooth nerve pain. And sensitivity of the tooth can be reduced by using desensitivity tooth paste and using soft bristles tooth brush instead of hard bristles.
