I don't know how to reply to my other topic, so I just started another one. My dad says it should take months, but he said he wasn't too sure.

I think it can. I guess it depends on how strong your teeth are. I have soft teeth and was told that it means I'm more prone to cavities.
But one thing I did learn recently from my dentist was that even after a cavity has started... if its still small you can floss it away. Just keep flossing twice a day and sometimes you can reverse the damage and save a good deal of money and pain!

I had one that went from nothing to a hole about a third of the way across my front tooth in about three weeks. But when my dentist filled looked at it, ne found that it had actually started in the back of the tooth next to it, and had gotten inside the tooth and eaten out the outside over a several week period before it finally reached the surface. Once it did, it only took a few days for the whole surface to rot away because it was so thin.

A cavity can form overnight if left unbrushed, toothpaste with calcium prevents cavities
