Does everyone get cavities?

I try to brush my teeth well, but I still got a cavity recently. It makes me wonder, does everyone get cavities at some point in their life, no matter how much they try?

Not everyone, but if you love sweets and chocolates like me, the risk is definitely high! I've had two fillings already, but now I make sure to rinse my mouth thoroughly after every single meal.

No, it's not necessary for everyone to get them. I've found that doing oil pulling with organic coconut oil every morning really keeps the gums healthy and prevents decay naturally. Give it a try along with regular brushing.

Please don't worry. If you brush properly and visit your dentist once a year, you can easily keep your teeth healthy and cavity-free.

I brush twice daily and still got a cavity last month, which made me so anxious! Does anyone else feel like some people are just genetically more prone to tooth decay no matter how much they clean?

Cavities can start without any pain, so you might not even know you have them. Please get a professional dental checkup every six months to catch any decay early before it reaches the nerve.

No, but managing oral hygiene is critical, especially since high blood sugar can lead to faster tooth decay. Limiting processed sugars and brushing twice a day is a must for keeping cavities away.
