they have all shown in the last 5 months
It hurts to eat, I can get dental work free where I live so should I visit my dentist straight away?
Will the work be able to be completed over a short period(say 2 months)

Getting the work done in the next month or two depends on the dentist's schedule. It is possible, but you would probably have to be a little flexible with times that you are available.
Ask your DDS about fluoride supplements if these cavities have cropped up in a short amount of time. Also, if you are soda drinker,or if you have changed your diet recently that may also explain why the increase in cavities.

This is major dental work you could be looking at a few days from work, but you need to have someone be with you to drive you home because if you got 6-7 cavities depending on the work you could be out for a couple hours while you're getting worked on. If it's hurting to eat make an appointment ASAP to get in to be seen.

Do it right away. How long it will take depends on the dentist.
The best prevention is flossing. I'm sure you've heard this before. Well I avoiding the trouble of flossing for 50 years until they started making these short pieces of floss strung in a plastic folder. They're so easy to use its a lifesaver. They come 20 or 40 to a bag, are cheap and are reuseable until the string finally wears out.
I never have cavities anymore.

I would go to the dentist asap. You should be able to get fillings for all of them within a week. I got 9 cavities filled in one day. I went once and they verified the cavities and then they scheduled me to come back. You may have to take x-rays of your teeth there.
I got a tooth pulled in like a couple hours. LOL. It's not a hard process. GOOD LUCK. Get there asap...... if it hurts to eat.

Sure, go right away. They may even be able to fill all the cavities in one day. Don't wait because the cavities will only get deeper and thats when you start entering the territory of the root canal...

GO! Don't let it get any worse. 2 months should be plenty of time, even if you have to have a root canal. Also, you might want to ask about having your teeth sealed to prevent cavities if you develop them so quickly. Call today!

please be smart and dont let them fill them with amalgam/silver/mercury. They will probably say composite is not covered. There is controversy, but that kept me from having mine removed for 20 yrs, and dealt with several medical problems because of them also. Pay what ever extra to have the composites put in, if they say they are not good for molars, it is because they dont know how to cure them (several layers, curing as they build it up) One problem with mercury is, it exponentially affects other toxins, like aluminum (ever eaten out of aluminum cookware or drank out of a aluminum soda can?) I was brainwashed with their "mercury is not toxic when mixed with other substances" B.S. and suffered for it. Personally it is not worth the risk for my family or myself. Good luck.

They will fill most of them right away. Yes you need to get this taken care of ASAP before they get any worse. They can fill them all in one or two visits/
