not all cavities keep growing.  Some small ones can be left alone and just
'watched'(periodically checked up on).

Dentists routinely fill very small cavities that should have been left
alone. Its called makin' money.

I have several friends who are dentists.  They do this ALL the time. They
make mistakes all the time. They pull out WRONG teeth occasionally, and do
root-canals on the wrong teeth too.  No, they are not 'bad' dentists. They
are actually good-->so just imagine what the 'bad' ones do!
