is it normal to get five cavities in one dental visit?

[Peter]

when I went to the dentist, I was surprised when he told me that five of my molars need silver fillings. That means I will now have a total of six silver fillings! I had two appointments made to get all five molars filled. I guess that I'm going to have a metal mouth.

Yes, especially if you haven't been in a while or if you eat/snack a lot or sip drinks a lot throughout the day. Not practicing good oral hygiene like flossing. But, in short yes and in a number of different possibilities.
