I'd expect preventive care is a lot more about ones own routine vs. what the dentist does.

  Plus the never-stated but not-quite-secret that uncontrollable factors like genetics and mouth chemistry dictate a lot of what's going to happen, regardless of how well you care for your teeth...

    I think mouth chemistry is at least somewhat controllable, via what you eat. It'd be nice if dentists knew more about that aspect, so that they could advise about it beyond "don't eat too much sugar".
