Decay in a tooth is removable. The space left inside the tooth after the decay is removed is a cavity. That cavity can be restored in multiple ways depending upon the extent of loss of tooth structure.
Extraction of a tooth will cause movement of the adjacent and opposing teeth leading to tipping and loss of space. It would be advisable to save a strong tooth as far as possible.

I believe there are two parts to this question a) if you got the correct advice
b) if its possible.

A) you have yourself written that the kid has cavities. I have no reason to believe that any wrong advice ...more

Unfortunately, the term "cavity wave" is not a recognized medical term in the context of infectious diseases. It's likely a misinterpretation or misunderstanding of a specific condition or outbreak. To address your concerns accurately, I need more information:
source of information: knowing where you heard about the "cavity wave" in china can help clarify what you might be referring to. Was it news, social media, or personal communication?
Possible conditions: could you be thinking of a ...more
