They probably did. Archaeologists have found holes drilled in teeth, early dentistry, from 9000 years ago (the neolithic period), see related link.

Today we eat more sugar (bad), but probably have better dental hygiene (good) and have discovered that fluoride strengthens teeth (good). It is not unlikely that people have fewer cavities today than they did in the Stone Age.

Most likely not. It wasn't until the installation of the sugary diet into the Western and Eastern civilizations that cavities became widespread. In North American, cavities were more common thanks to corn once it became cultivated...
