Question:

Answers:
White patches are not signs of cavities. Usually it will be a darker colour. No, cavities do not spread from tooth to tooth. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and floss

Other Answers:
No, white patches are completely normal. Cavaties will appear black or brown. The cure for cavaties (of course) are fillings. However, fillings are no longer ugly silver patches in your mouth. A white filling is now avaliable (but may cost more). To prevent cavaties you can ask you dentist for sealants. It's a clear shell that goes on your molars to prevent cavaties and decay. Cavaties don't spread. Sugar takes the effect on one tooth, unles more than one tooth was exposed.

White patches (if they were not there when your teeth first erupted) are the what cavities look like when they are at a stage where they are reversible. These are called "White Spot Lesions" or " Initial Caries". To prevent these lesions from progressing to cavities you need to increase the fluoride level in your mouth and clean your teeth properly. There is no cure for cavities but you can prevent tooth decay by making sure that you brush twice daily, floss daily, limit the sugar in your diet, use fluoride toothpaste and have regular dental visits.
