Size of cavities?

What constitutes a "large" cavity as opposed to a "small" cavity? Obviously size, I'm not stupid, but I've had cavities that the dentist has described as large and there's only what I would say was a tiny hole on the biting surface of the tooth. Is it more to to with how deep the cavity is or how big the diameter is or what?

Size of cavities?
I was told once, I can't remember if it was my dentist, but I think it might have been, that basically if you can see a cavity when you look at your tooth in the mirror that means it's a big cavity. And obviously any that cause pain are big cavities.
Reply:depth... small means its not all the way through the enamel. go to a different dentist... get them taken care of before you loose those teeth!
Reply:It has more to do with how deep it is. If its real deep that's bad.
Reply:Just get it filled by a good dentist.


Do not use that portion for chewing hard stuff.
Reply:IT DEPENDS HOE WIDE IT IS AND HOW DEEP IT IS
