Can you get a cavity between any of your teeth?

Yes. A Cavity can occur pretty much anywhere on any tooth.

@NaturalMineralWater is absolutely correct!

Yep. That’s why the dentist recommends getting x-rays every other year. They will show if you have cavities between your teeth.

I recently had to have a permanent molar pulled because I had a cavity below the gum line that couldn’t be filled. :( I have to get a dental implant back there—$2300, dental insurance doesn’t pay for implants because they’re “cosmetic.”

yes i’ve had quite a few cavities between my teeth :(

Yep – especially if you don’t floss. That’s what cleans out the bacteria in there, because the brush generally doesn’t.

No. As a cavity is tooth decay you couldn’t get one “between” your teeth, only on them.

I was thinking the same thing, @AstroChuck. Either that, or everything between teeth is cavity, by a standard definition

You can have other causes of tooth pain, including a cracked tooth, brushing too hard so the gum has receded, too much tooth whitening, and other causes as listed “here”;http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/sensitivity.htm.

In any case, a visit to the dentist is a good idea if only to rule out the need for expensive dental work.

@Sarcasm- Good point. Technically we all have cavities between our teeth.

Yeah, that’s a popular area. That’s one reason why flossing is so important.
Which reminds me, I need to make a dental appointment. Thanks!

Yes you can and I have. Floss helps to keep the uckies out from between your teeth!

I imagine that whatever causes the decay of one tooth could have done the same to the next one, so I think that u can have a cavity between two teeth. Tho It might just be 2 separate cavities.
