What are the different types of dental cavities?

Various types of cavities may develop in your teeth and in the oral chambers, some of which include the following:

Root cavities:

Root cavities develop when the tissue around the tooth is much lower on the tooth and the root surfaces become exposed to the foods that you are eating, making them more susceptible to erosive acids from one’s diet, and bacteria, and thus they gradually decay.

Pit and fissure cavities:

Pit and fissure cavities develop on the rear molars, and they usually occur when people do not brush their teeth twice daily.

Smooth surface cavities:

Smooth surface cavities are types of cavities that develop on the teeth found on the sides of the mouth, smooth-surface cavities affect the flat exterior surface of teeth.
