Indeed cavities are not uncommon and can be very large, in fact i went to the dentist and he said to me

You have a very large CAVITY..cavity...cavity.

and i replied " no need to repeat yourself "

I haven't said I, that was the echo.

Yes, the more common you are, the more cavities you'll have.

A key finding of the last UK Adult Dental Health Survey was that:


"Just under one third of dentate adults (31 per cent) had obvious tooth decay in either the crowns or roots of their teeth."

So just under 1 in 3, that is quote common
