Could you explain why do i have cavities in my teeth?

Cavities?: Eating foods that contribute to dental decay without brushing and flossing adequately and\or properly will produce cavities. Your own dentist can discuss this subject with you in more detail and hopefully help you on the path to better dental health.

Bugs: Bacteria + food debris = acid which makes holes in your teeth. Please have your dentist resolve all of your infection issues and teach you the best way to prevent future cavities.
