Can I have two cavities on my tooth?

I noticed that there are two small red marks/spots on my tooth and I think they are cavities. But is it possible to have two cavities on one tooth? I never heard of that before? So will the doctor put two fillings on my tooth or one big filling?

You most certainly can have two cavities on one tooth...there are many tooth surfaces and you can have a cavity on each of them, get them taken care of so that the cavity doesn't spread..don't wait until it starts hurting to have it taken care of. when the cavities are filled you may not have that much natural tooth structure left so.. depending on how deep they are you may need a crown. but see your dentist soon

It is possible to have two cavities. This happens when plaque and other substances are on two different parts of the tooth. Depending on the size of the cavities, the dentist should use to small filings for two small cavities.
Reply:Yes you can have 2 cavities on one tooth. The dentist may fill both cavities or just connect them as one, depends on how close and large they are. Also just because you have brown spots doesn't mean its a cavity. This could be staining. You should go to your dentist to be sure.
