Cavities in a simple language can be termed as tooth decay. It is a damaged area on the hardened teeth. This damage can be repaired by dental fillings but the damaged part needs to be removed from the tooth. Sometimes if the cavities are not treated on time they can reach the root or nerves of the tooth it may also need root canal treatment. Hence it is advisable to get the cavity checked by a dentist and they can help you with the solution.

Generally, cavities are empty spaces in solid objects. In regards to teeth, cavities are the result of decay, and are thus entirely unhealthy.
