I'm 14 years old, and go to the dentist every 6 months. I counted, and I already had 6. a lot of which were on the bottom. It's embarrassing to open my mouth for my friends to see all of those silver fillings.

It's not good hon... & yes, can be embarassing, especially if it's in front.
Make sure to brush at least twice a day...after every meal is best. Floss daily & use a rinse.
Try to eat healthier...foods high in calcium & vitamin D.

It's obviously NOT good at least for you for the dentist it's more money for him ! Did your dentist offer any solutions... ? Or did he just say "CHA CHING !" My mother used to work in the dental industry and her dentist said she needed some dental work done.. My mother is fanatical about her teeth... So, she had a second opinion and the first dentist charged her for a crown and some other dental work that she did not need.. So, I would say get a second opinion... Also, if the dentist/hygenist doesn't spend at least 45 minutes cleaning your teeth you should seek a different dentist... He/She is NOT doing a good enough job... Good luck

Very bad I just went to the dentist last week I had no cavities last time I had gone to the dentist was 8 years ago you have to brush your teeth often and do it the right way.I'm sure most don't even brush your tongue that's why I meet so many people w/bad breath

don't feel bad about opening ur mouth. just think as the cavity's as bling! just lay off the sugar for awile!i honestly think 10 cavity's are not good! but that can all change! its okay to have some every once and awhile but all the time is not only bad for ur body but for your ur teeth! just make sure to brush your teeth evey morning and night and floss 3 times a week! well that's what i do anyway! also ask your dentist for tips on how to keep your teeth nice and cleen!

If you do go to the dentist every 6 months and you already have 10 yeah thats bad, brush your teeth more often.

Yeah not good kid!
Cavities aren't good whether you have 1 or 32!
Use a fluoride rinse, I rec: Phos-Flur by Colgate, use it at night after you brush and FLOSS and rinse, but don't rinse with water after using it and don't eat or drink, just go to bed. It will help build up a barrier around your teeth.
BTW, REQUEST FOR YOUR FILLINGS TO BE WHITE!!!
They blend with your teeth. Your dentist needs to get in touch with modern practices!

Most dentists don't use the silver stuff any more. All mine are white now, even in the back teeth.

Its really bad and I would ask your dentist if there was a reason that you have so many.
When I had a filling they made it white, im not sure why they wouldnt do that
