Dental Cavities: How Can You Get Rid Of It?
Cavities are holes that form in your teeth. These holes occur when bacteria in your mouth react with the sugars from the food and drinks you consume.

Cavities can develop at any age, but they are most common in children and teenagers whose permanent teeth are coming in.
