6 cavities?

I went to the dentist several months ago, and after looking at my x-ray, he said that I had 6 small cavities. I never had a cavity before, so it shocked me when I found out. I never got them filled because I'm terrified of shots, and, my dentist said that since the cavities were so small and minor, I didn't have to get them filled, because he would have to drill bigger holes in my teeth in order to do so.
Do you think it's safe to try to maintain the cavities at the size they are instead of getting them filled? I notice that I have slight sensitivity to sweets. Is it possible to prevent the cavities from becoming worse?

EWWW please go to the dentist! Your teeth could get worse and have to eventually get pulled!!! I had 2 small cavities and got them drilled out and filled in about 25 minutes! It is not safe to maintain the cavities unless you want your teeth to be pulled out! The only way I think is to brush floss and use mouthwash all with cavity protected stuff on the paste and rinse but they still could get worse

SAVE your teeth.....go to the dentist

Going to the dentist to get cavities removed is not that bad.....you will be swollen for a couple of hours then good as new!! After you get a cavity on one tooth they seal it so it will not get any more!! Cavities on your teeth are not your fault!! Its just how the tooth forms....Cavities in between your teeth are your fault!! Ask your dentist and get them filled!!!

Definitely lay off the sugar and try not to eat on those teeth... but that's pretty impossible.

it doesnt hurt. the shots dont hurt because they rub some stuff on ur gums. and they get really numb. then they numb ur sides. so it pretty much doesnt hurt. just close ur eyes when they are drilling. if u dont get them fixed right now, they will get worse. and pretty soon u will need crowns and evrything
