      I think just "cavity" is fine, but maybe this is clearer.

      Suggest to delete "cavity" since 虫歯 means "bad teeth" in a more general sense. 
      An entry for cavity has been added jmdict 2865108 Active pending (id: 2337402) 窩洞

      齲歯 is rK for むしば but not for うし/くし. I'll split out うし/くし into a separate entry.
      I don't think 齲 is needed if it's only in kanjigen.
