Answers:
Cavity surface are the number of sides that it reaches. you have 5 sides of your tooth including your top surface. So if it is in the middle and then reaches one of the sides, it would be 2 surfaces.
Most food have some type of sugar in them. You don't have to cut out all sugars, but things such as candies, pops, and energy drinks, you want to limit your intake. The best thing to do after eat foods to help prevent cavities is to rinse your mouth out with water after eating. Also it is important to brush at least twice a day and floss before bed.
As long as you have it filled and it doesn't need a root canal, your tooth should be fine. Composites or amalgams can last quite a while. There is times where they can fall out but your dentist would be able to take care of it.
