I wouldn't call it good, but what can you do?

Get them filled and floss a little more.

Answer 3

Answer 4

It's not a big deal. Molars have crevices and pits in them that are sometimes hard to brush, so cavities can easily form there. Also, some people are just more prone to get cavities, it can be genetic or they can have more acidity to their saliva, so it's not like you have a dirty mouth. Go ahead and get them fixed and just concentrate on doing a really good job brushing every surface of every tooth from now on.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Well, it's not the greatest! After 4 years clear of cavities I got 2. I freaked. I thought I was such a bad person. But I got them filled on and got on with my life. A lot of people get cavities. You just have to suck it up and live with it. Just get them filled and brush a little more. You'll be okay! :)

Answer 7

Usually I'd say yes but my dentist recently told me that all of my molars are forming soft spots as well. I think some peoples molars are just more prone to that than others. I take excellent care of my teeth but can't stop the cavities from forming on the molars.

Answer 8

yes it is bad
