It is made of harmful microscopic bugs that use sugar to attack teeth. With time this creates a little hole in a tooth, and if not repaired with a filling, the cavity continues to grow. If a cavity is not treated it can destroy a good part of the tooth, making it hard to be rapaired with a conventional filling.
Cavities take time to form. A person doesn't just get a cavity overnight. It typically takes months, or possibly even years, before the decay process has advanced to a point where it requires attention. (That's why your dentist feels comfortable enough only examining you every 6 months.)
