Health: Dental Cavities
There are several kinds of cavities. But the kind of cavity I'm writing about is the tooth kind, aka tooth decay. A cavity happens when bacteria infect one of your teeth. And the more time they have to grow the worse it gets. After a while of not treating the cavity, it will develop into a tooth ache. And then after that it will get so bad the dentist would have to pull the entire tooth out.
I found out I had a cavity last night. I knew because it had already developed into a tooth ache. To keep your teeth healthy you should have a check-up at your local dentist at least once a year. So the dentist can fix cavities before you even see them.
