Can you get cavities even if you brush your teeth?

Yes, it is very possible. My grandmother always used to say that rinsing with warm salt water after eating helps, but my dentist explained that genetics and tooth shape also play a big role in decay. Even with regular brushing, some people are just more prone to cavities, so regular clinical dental cleaning is necessary.

Oh, absolutely! I brush twice daily, but my love for sweet jalebis and late-night snacks still got me a cavity. If you are eating sticky or sugary food throughout the day, the acid keeps attacking your teeth. Brushing is great, but cutting down on constant snacking helps a lot too.

Life is unfair, na? You brush diligently like a good kid and still get cavities while some people just rinse once and have perfect teeth. It actually happens because brushing doesn't clean the gaps. Time to make friends with dental floss, my friend!

Don't fall for internet hacks like oil pulling or charcoal powders to cure cavities; they do not work. If you are brushing and still getting cavities, you need a professional dental exam to check your brushing technique, saliva pH, or if you need fluoride treatment. Go see a qualified dentist.

Brushing only cleans about 60% of the tooth surface. If your diet is high in refined carbohydrates and acidic foods, the enamel can weaken over time. I suggest eating more calcium-rich foods and rinsing your mouth thoroughly with water right after eating anything.

I ignored a tiny sensitivity in my molar thinking 'I brush twice, it can't be a cavity'. That was a huge mistake because it turned into a deep infection that required painful treatment. Please get even minor sensitivity checked by a dentist immediately before it gets worse.

Yes, you can. I used to think brushing was enough until I had to pay 5000 rupees for a root canal and crown. Now I realize that spending 150 rupees on dental floss and a basic checkup every year is much cheaper than ignoring the gaps between your teeth.
