11 cavities in 6 months?!?!? WTF?!?!?!?

I have never had a cavity in my life before, and have gone to the same dentist in the same town for a long time, now, but my lifelong dentist has now retired, and a new dentist has taken over the practice. The new dentist was there last time I went to the dentist, but just to learn about the patients, and get a feel for the office, but this time, he actually examined my teeth and told me that I had 11 cavities, 9 of which he said were huge. I don't think this is possible. Should I change dentists?

either your old dentist wasn't that thorough or your new dentist is trying to make money off of you. ask your new dentist to see an x-ray of your teeth and to show you each cavity on the x-ray. if there are deep ones they should definitely show up. look for darker shaded areas in the teeth on the x-ray, these are cavities. If he's not willing to x-ray you or show you them on the x-ray then i'd go get a second opinion and an x-ray at another dentist.
