Good question.  Dental cavities or dental caries which are also known as tooth decay is very common disease worldwide yet it is also preventable. Tooth decay or dental caries happen when films of consumed food left on the teeth are acted on by bacteria, which break down these food particles and release strong acids in the process. These acids in turn cause significant damages to the enamel tissue of the teeth and further creates pores in them which results in dental caries.

 The best way to prevent tooth decay is by practising good teeth hygiene: brush at least twice a day, use toothpick or string to remove food particles left in between the teeth, floss regularly, and also avoid too much of sugary foods. Ultimately, visit the dentist at least once every six months for dental checkup.

On other hand, should one already have these cavities in his or her teeth, I would advise such individual to see a dentist as soon as possible for treatment. There are several treatments for dental caries, but each treatment depends on the degree of the tooth decay. In conclusion, anyone with dental caries should visit the dentist as soon as possible, whereas those without tooth decay should also practise good dental hygiene to avoid one.
