“You have cavities.” - is one of the most dreaded things to hear from your dentist. Irksome, painful and most importantly a real bother while eating meals and brushing the teeth; cavities continue to remain our unanimous enemies. The WHO (World Health Organisation) estimates that almost all adults have dental caries at some point in their lives, and the number today has risen among children as well. Cavities are most common in developed countries thanks to the increased simple sugar consumption of the population.
