Answer:

It may have dental cavity or cavities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distinguishing between a cavity and a dental cavity is essential for the dentist. Therefore, caries is defined as the disease of infectious origin that affects the surface of the tooth, and destroys the enamel and dentin to enter the interior. Meanwhile, the dental cavity is defined as the hole that forms in the enamel and causes the infection to enter the dentin first, and the pulp later. The dental cavity appears when the caries is in an advanced state and has entered the lower layers.
