Not Too Bad: However, you need to find out why are you getting all these cavities. Perhaps you need to lower your sugar intake, perhaps you need to be more dilligent in your oral care, or perhaps you need to see your dentist more regularly. Althuogh it could be much worse, it is time to take a look at what is contributing to your cavities, and take steps to reduce them. Good luck.
