Neglected teeth for years, have cavities in my wisdom/molars, is it too late to stop it from spreading in this state? (pics included)

Neglected my body for years due to depression during my teens, now I'm taking steps to build healthy hygiene habits. I've had these cavities in my mouth from since I was 15 (now 22) and weirdly enough it hasn't seemed to give me a tooth ache which I'm very happy for. I plan to get these removed in the future but I'd like to know, if I consistently brush every day, will it stop the cavity decay from progressing down to my nerves? Or is it at a point of no return where it'll just keep spreading no matter what I do?

I can't evaluate decay in your teeth based only on photos.
Go to a dentist and get full examination with bitewing Xrays.
