How long can you have a cavity before it
gets really bad? I have one, but I havnt
gotten it filled in, ive had it for almost
2 years, its sensitive to cold foods and
drinks.

Since it is so sensitive, why haven't you
gone to the dentist? You may want to go
soon, because it may be too late, and the
dentist may have to pull it. See, a
cavity is when acid (mainly from carbs)
has been left too long on your teeth and
it eventually eats away the enamel on your
tooth causing a cavity to form. However,
left untreated, this can go on to eat the
pulp (make-up of inside the tooth), once
this happens, a dentist can't go in to
fill it. Basically, you can't reconstruct
or fix something that isn't there. Just
go to the dentist asap! :)
