How Many Cavities are Normal?

 Dental cavities are the most common dental issue in the world. Unlike other dental problems that respond to specific characteristics or are not so common, cavities are found all around the world. 

However, it is hard to determine a normal cavity rate as everything we consume has a high sugar level and so, rates vary. 

Some insights:

• Kids from 2-11: the average % of children with cavities in their primary teeth is 42% with an average of 1.6 decayed teeth. 
• Adolescents from 12-19: with permanent teeth growth and more teeth to take care of, adolescents suffer from dental cavities on their permanent teeth 59% of the time on average.
• Adults from 20 to 65: 92% of adults have suffered from cavities at least once.
• Seniors +65: Even if you've had a great history of oral health, 65.92% of senior patients have had dental cavities with an average of 3.28 decayed teeth.
