Hi You're too young to think about artificial teeth. If you've have cavities, then your teeth can be restored. Depending upon the extent of cavity, treatment plan can be decided, whether filling or root canal is required.
Always remember when you lose a tooth, you lose bone also. With time it's not a pretty story..

Respeted madam there is no such age limit to get your cavities treated, and to make it clear if the cavities are not very deep in your teeth they can be successfully treated with tooth coloured fillings

Just a case of cavities doesn't mean you needed replacement of teeth.... These cavities can be filled /RCT following crown... But incase it is unrestorable then we needed extraction of remaining tooth structure following placement of bridges or Implants. Dental implants can be done in Diabetes but controlled i.e., with medication. Needed immediate action😊😊

There is no age limit or age restriction for replacement by artificial teeth but the important issue is health and strength of the adjacent teeth which should provide strong support consult your dentist there are various options like fixed ceramic bridges and dental implants too
