I have a few cavities and I hate the fact that I have them. I hated getting them filled. I eat to much stuff with sugar in it and that is why I got cavities. Every once in a while I will forget to brush and that is another reason for my cavities. I hope to not get anymore cavities. I like my teeth and mouth to be healthy. I prefer to get the white fillings and not the silver. I think the silver fillings look taky.

I have a one or two cavities left in my mouth too. I have had a few teeth pulled over the years because of them. I have another tooth I want to get pulled out because it had cavities and had fillings put in it. I am glad it is at the back of my mouth though.

When I was younger I did get a lot of cavities but since I have been older I don't have too many. Unfortunately I got them in the days when mercury fillings were popular, so I don't know how much damage all that mercury may have done. I have not had the money to have them removed but if I ever do get the money I will do that.

I also have cavities, because I eat alot of sweet things too. Evry month, I have to go to doctor to treat my teeth. Up to now, evrything is still ok, but I think of eating less sweet.

I have zero cavities because I got my teeth fixed since I'll need to wear braces starting in 2010 :| I got white fillings because they can't be seen and your teeth look perfectly healthy :)

i have a few and i am dealing with them already. it would be a shame to have cavities when we have a lot of family friends who are dentists and especially because are clan is full of dentists and dental technicians. though a lot of my uncles would joke when we were younger that it would not matter if we eventually ruin our teeth because we have plenty of skilled people in the family to take care of them but i still can't stand not brushing because it really feels weird not to brush. my cavities are actually due to overdose on a certain vitamins with flouride when i was little because new findings say that too much flouride will prevent the teeth from forming it's coating which make them stronger and prevents cavities from forming..too bad that was not foreseen when i was little..

Zero cavity for me. I am so lucky at this point and this owss much to my dear father who kept reminding me to wash my teeth before bed when I was very young and he used to say the chant that kids never eat sour or sweet food before bed. so I have never had any tooth problems.
