In my opinion, decay is not transferable from one tooth to another tooth, but if the decay is between two teeth, it can eventually cause decay or cavity on the next tooth. A cavity happens with the accumulation of bacteria in the area of tooth due to lack of cleaning properly and it does not happen locally and is usually generalized until and unless a specific area is neglected due to some pain. It is very important to get the professional cleanings done every six months and this way we can detect cavities in initial stages and save time, effort, and money to fix the big cavities. Thanks.
