What are the different kinds of teeth cavities?

A tooth has many surfaces and some people describe the decay by where it is on the tooth. The cavities the dentist can see by a clinical exam are on the chewing surfaces of the teeth and on the gumline area. There are some tooth decay cavities that are formed between the teeth due to lack of flossing. For these cavities, the dentist must take an x-ray to find them. You cannot see them by looking or feeling with the "pick". Another type of tooth decay is something that happens to an injured tooth called "internal resorption". The dentist also needs to take an x-ray to find this, unless the decay eats it way out of the tooth and shows at the gumline.

Is it okay to be scared when you are becoming a Dentist?

I'm not quite sure if you mean 'when you are becoming a dentist' or 'when you are going to see the dentist". Either way, it is perfectly alright to be scared. After all, a dentist does have tremendous responsibilities for the health of his/her patients and that responsibility can be a bit daunting! It's also ok to be scared if going to the dentist and in fact, most people are. This fear is normal and can be alleviated by finding a good dentist who is willing to listen to your concerns and who understands your fears.
