how long does it take for a cavity to form
So to answer the original question, how long it takes for cavities to form really depends on a variety of factors. If Team Remineralization is healthy and playing well, it might take years for a cavity to form. If Team Decay has the momentum however, a cavity might form in weeks to months, depending on how severely tilted the balance of the tug-o-war teams is. -Nicolas K. Young, DMD. Dentist Orem Utah.
